While I’ve shared a Roasted Tomato Soup, a Roasted Bell Pepper Soup, and a Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, our fall soup collection would be completely lacking without a delicious Roasted Pumpkin Soup recipe! I have no hesitations saying this is the best pumpkin soup recipe ever!

Best Pumpkin Soup Recipe

If you’ve been around Sugar, Spice and Glitter for awhile, you know – my daughter, Ella, is obsessed with all things pumpkin.

I know.

#basic

But what mom is going to deny her child a VEGETABLE that they are not only willing to eat – they are excited to eat?!

The best thing about roasted pumpkin is that you can pair it with so many different seasonings and toppings, bringing out different flavour notes and creating completely new flavour combinations!

You can break out the citrus for a bright and summer-inspired pumpkin soup, hit it with some Italian seasonings, or even add some brown sugar and cinnamon for a sweet take.

Today, we’re using garlic, paprika, sage and thyme to make a savoury and satisfying roasted pumpkin soup that will please even the biggest pumpkin skeptic (AKA, me).

And since pumpkin is the base of this recipe, you’re getting FOUR servings of vegetables per bowl. My favourite thing about vegetable-based soups is that I don’t feel like I’m eating a lot of vegetables, so I don’t mind pairing it with a salad or a side of vegetables – it doesn’t feel like overkill. It’s a sneaky way to tricky yourself (and the kids) into adding more vegetables to your day.

What to Serve with this Roasted Pumpkin Soup:

• Italian Soup Buns
• Classic Chicken Salad from Kylee Cooks
• Brussel Sprout Salad
• Grilled Vegetable Sandwich from Foodie Crush
• Rainbow Grilled Cheese Sandwiches
• Creamy Bacon Cheddar Broccoli Salad from the Soccer Mom Blog
• Ham and Cheese Sliders
• Ham and Cheese Hot Pockets
• Fresh Green Salad from Gimme Some Oven

Tip: I used my new Hurom Hexa Power High Speed Blender to make this soup – it blends up the soup easily, resulting in a creamy texture with no “bits” of carrots ruining the texture. It’s also really quiet, so I can make this soup or my favorite smoothie recipes at nap time without worrying that I’ll wake up the children. If you’re in the market for a new blender, or find that your blender isn’t doing a great job of creating smooth soups, I highly recommend it!

How to Make a Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Preheat oven to 400F

Grease a cookie sheet and set aside.

Cut and deseed the pumpkin and apple. Place in a single layer, cut side-up, on the cookie sheet.

Brush or drizzle the pumpkin and apple with 3 Tablespoons of the olive oil and sprinkle on salt and pepper, to taste.

Bake for 40-45 minutes, and then remove and let cool before removing the skins.

(A good trick for doing this is to place the veggies in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. The steam gathered will make removing the skins easier.)

In a dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 Tablespoons of olive oil.

Once hot, add the onion and cook until translucent, about two minutes. Add the garlic and continue cooking for about two minutes.

Add in the pumpkin, apple, vegetable stock, thyme and sage.

Increase heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a boil.

Reduce heat and simmer 5-10 minutes, until vegetables are fork-tender.

Puree with an immersion blender, or in batches in a high-powered blender. (If using a regular blender, do it in three batches and place a kitchen towel over the lid to prevent burns.)

Stir in the heavy cream and season to taste with salt and pepper. Allow to cook for 5 more minutes before serving.

I garnished mine with pepitas, a bit of extra heavy cream, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
