I tasted vegan pumpkin soup for the first time on a cruise in Halong Bay, Vietnam. I am not sure if it was the magic of that magnificent place, the chef's skills, or a combination of both but we fell in love with that soup.

And, since that day I always make my pumpkin soup vegan, and instead of cream or milk, I use coconut milk in my pumpkin soup.

Today I am sharing that easy, simple, and comforting vegan pumpkin soup recipe with you all.

If you like mildly flavored dishes, you will love this soup. The warm spices -cinnamon and nutmeg that are used to gently flavor it, make it so appropriate for fall and winter.

When I make any pumpkin recipe, peeling pumpkin is something that I hate the most. Thankfully, in this recipe, since the pumpkins are roasted first and then the flesh is scooped out, the step of peeling pumpkin skin gets skipped. A great relief!

Ingredients required and substitute suggestions

Ingredients for vegan pumpkin soup kept on a black surface

To make this soup, the following ingredients are required:

  1. Pumpkin
  2. Onion: Red/ white/ yellow or any variety is fine.
  3. Garlic
  4. Coconut milk: You can use any other plant-based milk too but coconut milk tastes the best in it.
  5. Olive oil
  6. Spices: Ginger powder, red chili powder, cinnamon powder, nutmeg powder, black pepper. Feel free to use any spice of your choice.
  7. Vegetable bouillon cube: Instead of using vegetable bouillon cube and water you can use vegetable stock too.
  8. Pumpkin seeds: Optional but recommended.
  9. Salt

How to make it

Making vegan pumpkin soup is very easy. Just follow the following steps:

  1. Cut pumpkin cubes, apply some oil, salt, and pepper, prick the skin, and bake. Allow reaching room temperature and then scoop out the flesh. Keep it aside.
  2. Saute onion and garlic in olive oil until the onion turns translucent. Add spices, salt, and vegetable bouillon cube. Saute for a few seconds.
  3. Add pumpkin flesh and water. Cook for a few minutes and then blend with a hand blender.
  4. Add coconut milk. Cook for a few more minutes. Garnish with pepitas, chili flakes, and enjoy!

Type of pumpkin to use

This roasted pumpkin soup can be made using any type of pumpkin. You can also use butternut squash to make it.

How to store

In the fridge, this soup will be fine for 3-4 days.

For a longer period store in the freezer for 3-4 months. If you feel the flavors have become milder, add some spices while reheating. Freeze in batches so that you re-heat only the amount you can consume at a time.

Tips & Tricks

  • This soup can also be made by simply cooking peeled pumpkin cubes in a pot. Just peel the pumpkin, cut cubes, add water until it covers the pumpkin. Boil until the pumpkin gets nicely cooked. Puree and then follow the recipe given in the recipe card.
  • Don't make very large pieces of pumpkin otherwise the baking time will get increased.
  • While baking, keep the flesh side down.
  • If you prefer spicy food, add some chili flakes or chopped chili peppers.
  • Other spices like cumin, ground cloves, etc can also be added to this soup.
  • Non-vegans may use cooking cream or milk instead of coconut milk
