Mom's Super-Powered Vegetable Soup image

My mom devised this super-sized, hearty soup that's both healthy and flavorful, thanks to two pretty genius additions: pumpkin puree and coconut milk. It tastes way better than any veggie soup based on stock alone, and you can personalize it a million different ways with any vegetables and grains or beans you have on hand. I like to top it with hot sauce and crumbled corn tortilla chips for a little crunch.
