Vegan Pumpkin Soup

It’s the pumpkin season, and we have been obsessing over anything that has pumpkin in it! And this soup has been made so many times in our kitchen this year. It’s probably the best recipe that you can keep making over and over again, without getting bored from it. It’s very delicious, requires super simple ingredients and it’s easy to make.

Vegan Pumpkin Soup Ingredients

To make this soup, you will need the following ingredients:

  • Pumpkin – cut into two halves and use one half to make this recipe

  • Onion, and garlic – chopped and minced.
  • Coconut oil or any vegetable oil – to saute the onions and the garlic.
  • Ginger – fresh, minced. Gives a really lovely kick to this soup!
  • Thyme – fresh leaves for extra flavor.
  • Smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. And either vegetable stock or water.
  • Light coconut milk, pumpkin seeds, olive oil, red chili flakes – to garnish (optional).
Ingredients needed to make Vegan Pumpkin Soup

How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Soup?

  • Start by cutting through the pumpkin, and slice it into big wedges. Using a potato peeler, peel the skin and then cube the pumpkin into 1-inch pieces (just like in the picture below). This is the most difficult thing to do in this recipe, and it’s not even difficult.

  • Add coconut oil or vegetable oil, to a pot and sauté the onion on medium heat on a stovetop.
  • Then add ginger, smoked paprika, and minced garlic and fry for one minute or until the garlic is fragrant but make sure not to burn it.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, bring to boil, close the lid and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft.
  • Blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth and creamy.
  • Finally, garnish the soup with soy cream (this is the brand that I use) or canned coconut cream and sprinkle with fresh thyme, crushed chili flakes, pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of olive oil. Serve warm. We served it in these beautiful Staub pumpkin cocottes!

How to make vegan pumpkin soup in a soup maker?

Add all ingredients in the soup maker and let it cook for 10 minutes. Then choose the “smooth” setting so it blends the ingredients into the desired consistency.

How to store the soup?

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

How to freeze pumpkin soup?

We love making soup and freezing it for later. It means that we can enjoy healthy homemade soup any time by just reheating it. To freeze it, allow it to cool down completely after cooking, then store in containers, and freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, just remove from the freezer preferably at least 1 hour before and let it thaw at room temperature. Reheat in the microwave and serve warm.

You could also reheat this directly in a pot over the stovetop without thawing. Once reheated, don’t freeze again.
