Cut up about 6 cups of pumpkin in medium cubes.

Using a medium pot, bring the 4 cups of chicken broth to boil, add the pumpkin, garlic, onions, and ginger. Boil for about 15 minutes or when pumpkin is soft when a fork goes through easily.

In small amounts at a time, blend the broth mixture and pumpkin until smooth. (Use a kitchen towel to hold the blender cover when blending to prevent burns or splashing)

Using a seperate pot, pour blended portions into that pot as finished until all is blended.

Add coconut milk, cinnamon,butter, salt, and black pepper to the pot, simmer about 10 minutes, stir frequently. Serve.
