How to make roasted pumpkin cauliflower soup
Start with preheating the oven for 400 F.
Cut the pumpkin in half and remove the seeds.
Rub the pumpkin halves with olive oil and place them on a sheet pan with the cut side facing down. Roast in the oven for 30 to 40 minutes (depending on the size of the pumpkin) until the inside is soft enough for a fork to poke through.
Let it cool slightly and then the skin should be very easy to peel off.
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and the onion into wedges.
Then add them to a sheet pan together with the garlic cloves.
Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Insert the cauliflower mix into the oven when there are 20 minutes left on the timer for the pumpkin. Roast all the vegetables until they are tender and have gotten some brown color.
Now, add the roasted vegetables – pumpkin, cauliflower, garlic, and onion to a blender. Additionally, add the vegetable stock and ground ginger powder to the blender.
Then, blend all the ingredients until very smooth. Be careful, it might get very hot.
Lastly, pour the creamy soup into a large pot and turn the stove on low to heat the soup up again. Add the coconut cream and add more salt and pepper if desired.
How to serve vegan Pumpkin and Cauliflower soup
Serving this creamy pumpkin cauliflower soup piping hot on a chilly fall night is so comforting to me. And there are a few ways to make this soup even more special.
- Serve it with toasted sourdough bread
- Top with homemade rustic croutons
- Drizzle some extra coconut cream on top for a beautiful effect and added creaminess
- Sprinkle pumpkin seeds on top for crunch and extra nutrition
- Add a side salad for some freshness
Suggested substitutions to make the soup yours
I always encourage you to make my recipes your own. Even though I think this is the best way of making the recipe, I know that you might have different dietary and flavor preferences.
Canned pumpkin puree
Instead of using fresh pie pumpkin, canned pumpkin puree works as well, especially if you are on a tight schedule. However, I highly recommend roasting your own pumpkin. It makes the soup more flavorful.
If you are using canned pumpkin puree, use about 2 cups, which is about 1.5 15oz cans.
Cream or half and half
If you are not a big fan of the mild coconut flavor or don’t have it at home, instead, you can use regular dairy cream, as well as half and half.
Liquid option
Vegetable stock or broth are both great options for this recipe. Filtered water would do the trick as well, even though you won’t get as much flavor.
How to store this Pumpkin Cauliflower Soup
Store the soup in the fridge for up to 5 days. And honestly, it might be even better the day after you make it. Sometimes it takes time for the flavors to develop.
And yes, you can freeze it!
I suggest freezing the pumpkin cauliflower soup in portion bags or boxes for easy defrosting and reheating.
I really hope you will love this Pumpkin Cauliflower recipe as much as my family and I do! Let me know in the comments if you made it.
