Peel the pumpkin and potatoes and cut into large cubes. Peel and dice the pears, apple, onion, and garlic. Sauté the onion and garlic in the oil until translucent, then add the pumpkin and potato cubes to the pot and sauté briefly. Deglaze with the white wine and add the stock. Now add the pear and apple pieces. Split the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds using the tip of a knife. Add the cumin, coriander, vanilla pod, and seeds to the pot. Simmer over medium heat with the lid closed for about 20 minutes. Now fish out the vanilla pod from the pot and purée the mixture finely. Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like it a little spicier, you can add some chili to the soup.
