By now, you’re probably rushing to the kitchen to make this easy pumpkin soup recipe. But hold on for a few more minutes, because I want to give you some useful tips that will help you make the best pumpkin soup recipe ever.

So without further ado, let’s see how to make pumpkin soup easy and creamy.

How to make pumpkin soup easy and creamy – Best Tips & Tricks

1. What pumpkin is best for soup.

In theory, all pumpkins are good for soup because uncooked, their content is pretty much the same, right?

But in reality, some are better than others because after you cook them, their texture will change.

Also, their flavors are slightly different. Sweet, smooth-textured pumpkins are better for soup, while other kinds are better for casseroles and roasting.

I made this creamy pumpkin soup with Queensland blue pumpkin but there are others, very similar types, which you can use instead.

And here are some that are perfect for soup:

• butternut squash
• golden nugget
• Jap
• Cinderella

Now that we know what pumpkin is best for soup, let’s move on and see how to cut one for this purpose.

2. How to cut pumpkin for soup

There are 2 ways of cutting a pumpkin for soup:

1. Into large chunks. First, place it on a sturdy chopping board and cut it in half, scoop out the seeds and peel, then cut it into large chunks.
2. Into wedges. Cut it in half, scoop out the seeds and then cut each half into 0.5in wedges, using a sharp knife. This works best for smaller pumpkins.

You can apply these two methods for roasted pumpkin soup or if you want to skip the roasting part andmake it with fresh pumpkin.

Although I have to say, roasted pumpkin soup is way tastier and more flavorful than fresh pumpkin soup.

That’s because the pumpkin gets kind of caramelized when roasted and its flavor is enhanced. So if you have to choose between the two, then by all means, go for the roasted pumpkin soup.

3. What spices go with creamy pumpkin soup

Spices are an important ingredient in many dishes and that goes for this vegan pumpkin soup recipe too. They can take food from ‘meh’ to ‘yummy’ and that’s exactly what they did for our dish.

Here are some of the best spices for creamy pumpkin soup:

• cinnamon
• nutmeg
• smoked paprika
• cumin

Now let’s move on and see…

4. What goes well with roasted pumpkin soup

This vegan roasted pumpkin soup is very nourishing and filling so I served it as a main. But I know many of you are greedy foodies and one soup is just not enough for you.

If you want to make it more filling, you can use the Parmesan croutons I used in this tomato soup. This won’t be vegan anymore but it will certainly fill up your tummy.

And if that’s not enough and you want to serve it with some other dish, here are some that go well with roasted pumpkin soup:

• Any baked or cooked fish (like Baked Salmon and Veggies)
• Whole Roasted Chicken or Turkey – this is an amazing Thanksgiving menu
• Slow Cooker Ratatouille – an excellent meatless menu

5. Adjust this easy pumpkin soup recipe to your taste

If you want to adjust the flavor of this easy pumpkin soup recipe, you’ll need to tweak the spices to your taste or replace them with your favorites.

But for maximum taste and flavor, you have to try the following optional toppings: toasted coconut flakes, coconut yogurt, fresh ground black pepper, chopped roasted cashew, or fresh thyme.

Start by adding just a small amount of any of the optional toppings, then taste and add more if needed (to your taste).

These are real game-changers in terms of taste, flavor and texture. It just enhances everything and makes it better.

Great, now you know everything about this easy pumpkin soup recipe so it’s time to see how to make it.
