Vegan Roasted Pumpkin Soup
If there is one concept that is a must for the fall season, it’s Pumpkin Soup! Once upon a time I viewed soup as this intricate dish that I just couldn’t do. However, if you’re new to cooking or simply don’t have a lot of extra time on your hands, soups will be your new BFF!
Typically soups are laden with sodium, beef or chicken stock, heavy cream etc. That’s another reason why I like to whip up my own as you can make a fab vegan soup with just a handful of ingredients.
When it comes to pumpkin soup, you can make it with the canned puree option, but it’s so easy just to roast a sugar pumpkin in the oven. Something I’ve also come to find is that roasting everything really enhances the flavor of any soup. If you’re making a soup..
Always roast the ingredients if you can!
What’s fab about this soup, is everything! It’s quick, easy, veggie packed, flavor packed, slightly savory, slightly sweet, perf for fall, can easily be made in bulk, truly captures the essence of fall, and is affordable too!
If you’re searching for that perfect fall soup to add to your cooking routine, this vegan Roasted Pumpkin Soup is it!
