Heat coconut oil in a medium pot over medium heat and sauté the onion, carrot, and bell pepper for about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the fresh ginger and sauté for a further 1 minute.
Add all spices, tomato puree, pumpkin puree, vegetable broth, and coconut milk. Stir to combine.
Heat on medium-high to just under a boil, then immediately reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Stir in the kale or spinach, and the chickpeas if you choose to use them, simmering for another 2 minutes or so.
Add the sea salt and pepper and adjust the seasonings to taste.
Serve fresh with the rice or quinoa, and top with some microgreens or fresh cilantro!
