- 2 pie pumpkins
- 1 can coconut milk
- pinch of salt
- 2 Tablespoons honey (or maple syrup) - more to taste (this is optional - depending upon how sweet your pie pumpkins are you might not need any sweetener. Note: if you add honey or maple syrup it will no longer be Whole30 compliant)
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cut pumpkins in half and scoop out seeds.
- Place hollowed side down on parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Bake for 45 minutes.
- Once pumpkins are done roasting, scoop out insides and place in medium-large saucepan.
- Add coconut milk, salt and honey or maple syrup.
- Use immersion blender to fully combine (if you don't have immersion blender just place in blender and blend for a minute or two).
- Taste and add additional maple syrup or honey, if desired.
To get the While 30 sweetness, could you add a date or two to it before blending?
I think that would work perfectly! Just taste it without first, my pumpkins were super sweet so you might not even need any! But if you do need some extra sweetness, dates would be a great option to keep it Whole30!
Could you use canned pumpkin? If so, how much?
Hi, Jen! Unfortunately I do not think canned pumpkin would work or taste as well as the pie pumpkins!
My grandma used to make pumpkin soup for me when I was little. She grew her own pumpkin and would chop the pumpkin into pieces and boiled it with the coconut milk on the fire. I am going to try your version for sure. I bet it will be just as delicious as my grandmas.
