200mlvegetable stock
½tsp cinnamon

Preheat the oven to 180°C.
Peel the pumpkin, remove the seeds and fibrous centre, then cut it into smaller pieces. Transfer the prepared pumpkin to an ovenproof dish and roast for 30-35 minutes, or until soft.
In a small frying pan, heat the oil and then add the finely chopped onion. Fry on a low heat until the onion turns golden brown.
Transfer the cooled onion and pumpkin to a blender. Add the remaining ingredients: broth, coconut milk, cinnamon, ginger, chilli and lemon juice. Blend thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. If necessary, season with a pinch of salt.
Pour the soup into a pot and heat it up. Serve the hot pumpkin soup with your favourite crispy accompaniment, like croutons or pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!
