To improve the flavor, cook the onions and garlic in olive oil before adding them to the soup maker. You can either use the saute function if your soup maker has one or cook them in a pan. (see notes below).
Add the pumpkin, vegetable stock, salt and pepper. Place the lid on, ensure it is properly sealed, and select the smooth soup setting.
When the soup is ready, add the coconut milk, place the lid on, then press blend for 10-15 seconds to combine.

Notes
Refrigeration and Freezing: To store, first allow the soup to cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and keep in the fridge for 4-5 days, and in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Sauteeing the onion and garlic is an optional step that helps enhance the flavors.
This recipe is for a thick soup, add more vegetable stock if you prefer your soup thinner.
I tested and created this recipe in the Ninja Foodi Soup Maker, but it's adaptable for use with various other soup makers as well.
