This sweet and savory Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Soup comes together in under an hour and is completely plant-based. It's the perfect healthy fall meal!
As the weather starts to cool down, I'm turning my focus (for a moment) from all the fall desserts to sneak in a savory recipe. I have a huge sweet tooth, which is why I have tons of dessert recipes on here for you guys BUT I recognize that not one cannot subsist on solely sweets, so here we are.
(If you're looking for some fall dessert recipes check out my Molasses Pumpkin Walnut Cookies, Pumpkin Spice Latte Granola, Dessert Pears, Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Bites, Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Cookies, or Fudgy Maple Pecan Blondies.)
This soup is technically a savory recipe, but if I'm being honest, it's still pretty sweet. Pumpkin by nature is fairly sweet. And there's a couple other ingredients that add to the overall sweetness of the dish. Oops. Guess I can't escape my sweet tooth.
Whether you're a sweet or savory fan, you'll definitely love this soup. Yes, there are sweet ingredients, but there are also some savory flavors that make the soup perfect for a light lunch or dinner.
Step 1. Start by sautéing the onion and carrots in some of the veggie broth. After about 5 minutes they will get nice and soft.
Step 2. Add the remaining ingredients and bring the mixture to a boil. Let it simmer for around 30 minutes. It will slowly thicken to become creamy and delicious.
Step 3. After half an hour, transfer the mixture to a food processor and blend until it's completely smooth. This incorporates all the flavors and leaves the ultimate creamy texture.
Serve and enjoy!
This soup should keep up to a week in the fridge. Make sure to let it cool completely on the counter before storing it in the fridge.
I recommend using a glass container so the orange color from the pumpkin and carrot doesn't stain your plastic.
Yes! You can store pumpkin soup in the freezer. As with the fridge, you want to let it cool completely before freezing it. Simply put it in a freezer safe plastic bag or container and place it in the fridge. It should keep for several months.
Of course! I wouldn't share this recipe if it wasn't good and good for you. Pumpkin has tons of vitamin A. The other ingredients in the soup are all whole food, plant-based ingredients, making this recipe completely vegan, dairy-free, oil-free, and sugar-free. Just like all my recipes!
This soup is actually super light. There is very little fat in this recipe, which is okay! If you want to thicken it up, you can add some canned coconut milk. Coconut milk is naturally higher in fat which will add some healthy calories to the meal. Either way, this soup is delicious and nutritious!
I hope you enjoy!
Jesus, thank you for sweet and savory foods. We know you give us preferences so that we may enjoy the variety of your creation. Amen.
