Steps:
- Heat the coconut oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the pumpkin, stir well, and cook, covered, for 15 minutes.

PUMPKIN, COCONUT AND RUM SOUP
Adapted from Axel Wichterich at the Marblue Domicil in Treasure Beach, Jamaica. Notes: A secret 'trick' with this soup is to let it age for several hours (or even overnight) before serving it. If you don't have time for this, rest assured that it will still taste great (just try to save some leftovers so you can see what I mean).

Steps:
- In a large, heavy-bottomed soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to caramelize, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the garlic and scallions and cook for another minute or two until softened.
- Add the cubed pumpkin, the carrots, scotch bonnet pepper, stock and coconut milk. Bring to a boil and turn down the heat to medium-low. Simmer, uncovered, for about 35-40 minutes, or until the vegetables are completely soft and the liquid has reduced slightly.
- Remove from the heat and puree, either in a blender (in batches, and with the lid clamped down tight), or with an immersion (stick) blender. Return to the pot, stir in the sugar, salt and pepper to taste, and the rum. Cover and set aside for several hours or overnight (in which case, refrigerate).
- Just before serving, reheat the soup to boiling and let boil vigorously for 2-3 minutes.

PUMPKIN SOUP WITH COCONUT MILK
The spices in this soup really marry up well and make this the tasty, flavorful soup it is. I can guarantee you will impress even the fussiest of eaters. If you can use organic vegetables, the soup will have a glorious color and taste more intense. Most people cannot tell that you have used coconut milk instead of cream. This makes it not only taste good, but full of all the health benefits of the coconut. Add a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or some chopped parsley, or drizzle with good quality, cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil. Enjoy and taste the golden color of the sun!

CREAMY PUMPKIN SOUP
This recipe turns canned pumpkin purée into a sublimely creamy, aromatic soup that makes for an elegant first course or a satisfying lunch on a cold day. While the combination of pumpkin and fall spices can easily veer in the direction of dessert, the addition of fresh rosemary, garlic, caramelized onions and curry powder plants this soup firmly in the savory camp. Finally, to make this recipe vegan, substitute olive oil for the butter, full-fat coconut milk for the heavy cream, and vegetable broth for the chicken broth. If time and availability allow, consider roasting your own sugar pumpkin for this recipe: The soup will have a deeper, more complex flavor (see Tip).

Steps:
- In a large Dutch oven or other heavy-bottomed pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onions and rosemary and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are lightly caramelized, about 15 to 20 minutes. If the onions begin browning too quickly, turn the heat to low.
- Add the maple syrup and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions have darkened in color, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the cider and cook, scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan, until the liquid is reduced by about half.
- Add the broth, pumpkin purée, curry powder, nutmeg, cloves, salt and pepper, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to medium-low and cook at a full simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pot to prevent scorching.
- Working in batches, purée the soup in a blender or food processor and return to the pot (or use an immersion blender). Bring back to a simmer over medium heat, then turn off the heat and stir in the cream. Season with salt and pepper to taste and add more broth if the soup is too thick.
- To make the optional fried sage topping, melt the butter in a small or medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the sage leaves and fry until just crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon or a fork, transfer the sage leaves to a paper towel-lined plate, reserving the butter left behind in the pan.
- To serve, spoon the soup into individual bowls. Top each serving with 2 fried sage leaves and a drizzle of the reserved butter (if using), or a swirl of cream and pinch of nutmeg. Serve hot.
Tips:
* Select the ripest pumpkin: A ripe pumpkin will have a deep, orange color and a firm texture. Avoid pumpkins with soft spots or bruises. * Use fresh coconut milk: Fresh coconut milk is creamier and more flavorful than canned coconut milk. If you can't find fresh coconut milk, you can use unsweetened canned coconut milk. * Don't overcook the pumpkin: Overcooked pumpkin will become mushy and lose its flavor. Cook the pumpkin until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. * Add the rum at the end: Adding the rum at the end of the cooking process will prevent the alcohol from evaporating. * Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as cilantro or mint, will add a pop of flavor and color to the soup.Conclusion:
Pumpkin coconut and rum soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. The combination of pumpkin, coconut, and rum creates a unique and flavorful soup that is sure to please everyone at the table. With its creamy texture and warm spices, this soup is sure to become a favorite.
