Step 1

Coat the bottom of a large pot with oil and place it over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the oil heats up, add the onion. Cook the onion for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens up and begins to brown.

Step 3

Add the garlic, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and black pepper. Cook everything for about 1 minute, until very fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the pumpkin puree, coconut milk, broth, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.

Step 5

Raise the heat and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat and allow it to simmer, stirring occasionally, until it thickens up a bit, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat and season the soup with salt to taste. Adjust any other seasonings to your liking.

Step 7

Ladle into bowls and serve.
