Measure and prep all ingredients.

In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan, heat the ghee, butter or oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, nutmeg, curry powder, black pepper and salt. Sauté until the onions are soft and translucent but not browned, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the pureed pumpkin, coconut milk, stock and lemon juice. Stir to combine. Gently heat to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Use an immersion or conventional blender to puree the soup. If using a conventional blender, puree in batches filling the container no more than ⅓ full at a time to prevent a soup explosion.

Add the cayenne pepper, if desired. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds, additional spices and a splash of cream if desired. Serve and enjoy!

Notes:
- The flavor of curry powder varies by brand. If you want a stronger curry flavor, add more to reach your desired flavor.
