3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced ginger
1 mounded tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over a medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion, garlic and ginger and stir. Add the curry powder, salt and pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the pumpkin puree, vegetable stock, coconut milk, brown sugar and cinnamon. Stirring, bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, allowing all the flavors to come together.
Meanwhile, mix the pumpkin seeds, cilantro, parsley, olive oil, turmeric and salt together in a small bowl.
