Pumpkin season is upon us, and there’s no shame in indulging in this important medium-carb autumn ingredient. Garlic, ginger and coconut milk push this pumpkin coconut soup in a mildly exotic direction, and a pinch of clove pulls it back towards familiar holiday flavors. This recipe yields 4 generous portions, but you could stretch it into 6-8 smaller, richer, and less carb-heavy appetizer portions by adding in heavy cream or coconut oil.
