Ingredients
  

1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree

1 can (28 oz) crushed tomatoes

1 medium onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup coconut milk or heavy cream

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons dried basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by dicing the onion and mincing the garlic.

    Sauté the Aromatics: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant. This step enhances the depth of flavor in your soup.

      Combine in the Crockpot: Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic to the crockpot. Add the pumpkin puree, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried basil, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

        Cook: Cover the crockpot and set it on low for 6 hours or high for 3 hours. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

          Add Creaminess: Once the cooking time is complete, stir in the coconut milk or heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

            Blend (Optional): For an ultra-smooth soup, you may use an immersion blender to puree the soup to your desired consistency.

              Serve: Ladle the creamy soup into bowls and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Enjoy with crusty bread or croutons on the side!
