Description
This Autumn-Spiced Roasted Pumpkin Soup is creamy, nourishing, and full of cozy fall flavors. Roasted pumpkin blended with warm spices and a hint of ginger creates a velvety, comforting dish perfect for healthy seasonal meals, dinner parties, or holiday starters.
Ingredients
1 medium pumpkin (about 3 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cubed 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large onion, chopped 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated 1 teaspoon ground cumin ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg 4 cups vegetable broth Salt and black pepper to taste ½ cup coconut milk or cream (optional) Fresh parsley or pumpkin seeds, for garnish
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place cubed pumpkin on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss. Roast for 30–35 minutes until tender and caramelized. 2. Meanwhile, heat remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Cook onion until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger, cook 1 minute, then stir in cumin, cinnamon, and nutmeg and toast for 30 seconds. 3. Add roasted pumpkin to the pot with vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook 10 minutes for flavors to meld. 4. Use an immersion blender to puree soup until smooth. Stir in coconut milk if desired, and adjust seasoning. Ladle into bowls, garnish with parsley or pumpkin seeds, and serve warm.
Notes
• Use a sweet, dense pumpkin variety for best texture. • Adjust spices to taste; add a pinch of cayenne for heat if desired. • Cool completely before storing; soup can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen up to 3 months. • Serve with crusty bread or in a bread bowl for a rustic touch.
