Ready for the best pumpkin soup recipe ever? A bowl of this thick and creamy soup spiced with turmeric will warm your body and soul.
Naturally gluten-free and full of healthy antioxidants, this pumpkin soup can even be made vegan, too!
Begin by cutting the pumpkin in half and roasting. I like to use the kabocha variety, but any type of starchy pumpkin will suffice. You’ll want about three cups of mashed pumpkin in total.

While the pumpkin is roasting, sauté onions and garlic in a large skillet until tender, then add turmeric, bay leaves, and chicken or vegetable stock to the skillet. Let the ingredients simmer for 10 to 15 minutes for the flavors to blend together.
Once the pumpkin is roasted, scrape out the flesh and carefully transfer it to the skillet. Mix with a wooden spoon and let the ingredients simmer for another 10 minutes.
Finally, process the soup in an electric blender until you get a thick, creamy mixture. Return the mixture to the skillet to warm it up, mixing in some coconut cream to boost the flavor. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with pumpkin seeds, and serve!
Tip: If you don’t have fresh pumpkin available, you can also use organic canned pumpkin purée – just make sure it’s 100% pumpkin with no added sugars or preservatives.
