1 cup pumpkin puree

4 teaspoons pure maple syrup
1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk

1. Pour the olive oil into a large pot over medium heat, and saute the onion until tender,
about 10 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 more minute.
2. Add in the tomato, pumpkin, water, salt, cinnamon, and maple syrup and bring the soup

preparing a pound of pasta for this amount of sauce.)
