Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe

I love this season, seriously, it could be fall season the whole year and I would be happy! I guess coming from a hot country I'm more than pleased when it gets colder and it's time for hot drinks and a big bowl of lovely warm soup like this roasted pumpkin soup.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup served with pumpkin seeds and vegan cream

This recipe is a great and healthy way to warm up your body. A comforting bowl of pumpkin soup will make the end of a cold or rainy day instantly better. When we have some extra time, we make a loaf of vegan soda bread to go with the soup. It's so delicious that I'm already getting hungry! Our recipe is vegan and gluten-free, so perfect to please everyone around you.

Pumpkins have so many health benefits that we always try to make the most of the season. They are packed full of vitamins and minerals that boost our immune system.

How to make the best Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Our roasted pumpkin soup is made with fresh pumpkin, a blend of spices, onion, carrots, garlic, ginger, homemade vegetable stock, and topped with coconut milk and toasted seeds.

The making of this recipe is really easy. The most challenging part would be to wait for the pumpkin to roast, that's how easy it gets. If you roast the pumpkin in advance, the making of the soup will take just a couple of minutes. To make the soup, we recommend you to use a cast iron dutch oven as they are perfect for slow cooking.

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Ingredients

Fresh Pumpkin. We've never bought pumpkin puree, I don't know where to find it in supermarkets or how good is it. Our pumpkin recipes have to wait until pumpkins are in season!

Carrot and onion. These are our staple ingredients for any vegetable soup as they make your soup extra tasty and nutritious.

Garlic and ginger paste. We use our ginger and garlic press for this part of the recipe. We make a paste out of fresh garlic and ginger and add it with the spices while cooking to create a beautiful combination of flavors.

Spice blend. For our roasted pumpkin soup, we use a mixture of cinnamon, cardamom, black pepper, turmeric, and nutmeg. Make sure you are using good quality spices as it will make a big difference in the taste of your soup.

Vegetable Stock. We normally have homemade vegetable stock in the freezer as we make it regularly to use in different recipes. You can use store-bought vegetable stock or make your own homemade stock.

Coconut milk. We use a little coconut milk on the top before serving but it can be added while making the soup to make it extra creamy. To our taste, the pumpkin makes this soup creamy enough.

Seeds. Toasted sunflower and pumpkin seeds added on the top before serving will give the last touch to this yummy dish.
