[What is Curcuma Longa?]

Turmeric is an herbaceous plant known scientifically as Curcuma longa. It belongs to the Zingiberaceae family, which includes ginger. Tumeric has rhizomes rather than true roots, which are the primary source of commercial value for this plant. Tumeric originates from southwest India, where it has been a stable of Siddha medicine for thousands of years. It is also a common spice in Indian cuisine and is often used as flavoring for Asian mustards.

INGREDIENTS:
1 Tbsp clarified butter, also known as ghee (or regular butter) (For vegan recipe use earth balance butter alternative)
1 small onion, chopped
2 tsp minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp curry powder or paprika
2 tsp cumin
2 Tbsp fresh, finely chopped ginger
2 cans (30 oz.) pumpkin puree or fresh pumpkin
1 quart vegetable stock
1 can coconut cream

GARNISH OPTIONS:
lime
chopped parsley
pumpkin seeds
avocado
sour cream or creme fresh
cooked bacon bits

DIRECTIONS:
On medium heat, sweat out the onion and garlic in the clarified butter, about 2-3 minutes. Then add in all of your seasoning and mix together, coating the onions in the seasoning. Next add in the ginger and pumpkin puree (or fresh chopped pumpkin), and cook for another minute.
NOTE: If you use fresh pumpkin, you’re going to need to sauté the pumpkin longer, until it’s soft enough to poke it with a fork.
Then add in the vegetable stock and coconut cream, and bring it up to a simmer. Let it cook for about ten more minutes, to infuse all of the flavors and it’s ready to serve. Garnish with desired toppings
