- For the pesto, place baby kale, parsley, pumpkin seeds, lemon rind, lemon juice, garlic, olive oil and water in a food processor. Process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Melt coconut oil in a large saucepan. Add in diced squash, onion, minced garlic and ginger. Cook briefly and sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg. Pour in white wine and broth. Cook, covered, for about 25-30 minutes until tender.
- Using a hand held blender, process soup until smooth. Add in coconut milk and season. Serve the soup warm topped with pesto and if desired, in a roasted pumpkin bowl.

Absolutely beautiful Angie :) :)
Kale pesto, so healthy and yummy. Must be so comforting to have this in the cold weather. Thanks for sharing.
I love the presentation in the pumpkin shell.
Angie, I would love to have the soup served in the pumpkin itself. I love pumpkin and I would scrap clean the pumpkin flesh away from the skin. What a lovely soup to enjoy on a cold, rainy day!
A delicious soup, I'm sure! So flavourful.
Cheers,
Rosa

What a beautiful way of serving the soup in the roasted pumpkin, absolute yum!
Que buena la calabaza.
la presentación en la calabaza genial!!
Un saludito
yumm!! can even eat the bowl as well no washing up lol
How divine! I want the one served in a roasted pumpkin...what a treat that would be. Love the white wine and coconut milk in here and the pesto is such a nice touch. You add the diced squash in with the onions and let it cook together, right?
I like this soup! Yummy! And especially nice that it's served in pumpkin :)
@Monica yes :-)) how could I forget the main ingredient in the recipe. Thanks, Monica!
Pumpkin soup...perfect! And adorably shot.
Great soup Angie, a great idea to serve in the same pumpkin, I will certainly do this at home! Thanks for sharing!
That kale pesto...I am loving kale lately so this would be just awesome to have with some pasta. I will get some next week and give this a go!
What a lovely soup Angie! The kale pesto with pumpkin seeds is quite creative. Love it!
Absolutely divine Angie. Even though we are enjoying hotter days, this would be a wonderful meal.
Have a beautiful week.

I've been meaning to make pumpkin coconut soup this fall but somehow just haven't gotten around to it yet! Thanks for the delicious reminder to just do it :)
The soup served in a pumpkin is just wonderful! The Kale pesto is great, I made it once too. Beautiful delicious meal Angie.
Another bookmark recipe dear. love it
That is the best use I have seen for Kale so far. That soup looks so good and I would love to eat the bowl too!
Lovely soup Angie, I need these right now, it's so bloody cold. That kale pesto is a winner. I'm going to pair that with some pasta i think.
We all love squash soup in my family. I use an old Williams Sonoma recipe...but now, I'm going to add coconut milk. What a super idea! That little bit of kale pesto is the perfect final touch.
I love everything about this. Butternut Squash soup is my favorite this time of year. I like that you used coconut milk and also garnish it with a kale pesto which I've never tried. Adding the pumpkin seeds to it is brilliant. I'll definitely be trying this. Great recipe!
I've made a lot of things with kale, but never thought of pesto! I'm trying this tonight since it's rainy and cold here, XOXO
i'm in the minority, but i really don't like kale. this seems like a wonderful way to use it and might actually change my mind!
OMG, Kale Pesto??!! That alone sounds amazing, but generously dolloped on pumpkin soup?! Heck Yes! SO GOOD! Can't wait to try this! Cheers, my dear!
Delicious soup and I love that pesto, looks like a terrific combo..
That is a gorgeous and creative way of serving this delicious soup. Have a good week, Angie! :)

I love pumpkin soup and yours looks so creamy and delicious! The pesto on top sounds like the perfect addition and I love that you served it in these adorable pumpkins too!
I recently baked pumpkin. It was so delicious!!!!!!! :) I have to try your recipe as well!
Angie, this looks good! I love using kale as alternative green in pesto. Its delightful. When pesto is added to soups and stews it really brings the flavor up to a new level.
My garden is full of kale right now, and I have been inspired to make kale pesto too.
The pumpkin soup is divine!

When I've traveled to Europe in the fall, the pumpkin soups are one my favorites to try. I love your version made with coconut milk and then topped with the pesto, it sounds terrific.
