Made with canned pumpkin and veggies this rich German style pumpkin soup comes together quickly in just 30 minutes for a comforting winter soup. It is warm and simply seasoned with the favorite fall spice ground cloves.

Pumpkin soup is fairly common in Germany and Switzerland and it’s one that my husband had many times in the 2 years he was living in Switzerland. He said this is a close approximation to the soup he had and he’s always excited when I make it.

How to make pumpkin soup?

  1. Start by cooking the veggies in olive oil in a large pot until soft and caramelized.
  2. Add spices, pumpkin, milk, and stock and simmer for 20 minutes.
  3. Use a hand blender or a regular blender and blend until completely smooth.

Can pumpkin soup be frozen?

The soup will keep for about a week in the fridge. Pumpkin soup can be frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat, allow soup to thaw completely in the fridge. Add soup to a pot and warm through but do not boil.

Is pumpkin soup vegan?

Pumpkin soup is very simple to make vegetarian or vegan. Simply swap the butter for olive oil and the milk for coconut milk or almond milk.

I make this soup with almond milk on a regular basis and it turns out great.

Pumpkin soup in a bread bowl

I like to serve the soup in bread bowls for children. This soup is a new flavor for most kids, but serving it in a fun way and in something you know they will eat, makes them much more likely to have a positive experience with it.
