Description
A creamy and comforting vegan soup made with roasted pumpkin, cauliflower, and warm spices, blended to a silky texture. Perfect for cozy meals with rich, smoky flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 medium pumpkin (peeled and cubed (about 4 cups))
- 1 small cauliflower (broken into florets)
- 2 white potato (peeled and cubed)
- 1 onion (quartered)
- 4 garlic cloves (peeled)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- lemon
- fresh herbs
- vegan plain yogurt
- croutons (gluten-free)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the vegetables by cutting the cauliflower into florets, cubing the pumpkin and potatoes, quartering the onion, and peeling the garlic.
- Place all vegetables on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat evenly.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through, until vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
- Transfer roasted vegetables to a high-speed blender, add vegetable broth, and blend until smooth and creamy. Allow steam to escape and blend in batches if needed.
- Alternatively, place roasted vegetables in a large pot, add broth, and use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
- Ladle into bowls and garnish with vegan yogurt, fresh herbs, a squeeze of lemon, and gluten-free croutons before serving.
Notes
- Adjust consistency by adding more broth if a thinner soup is desired.
- Coconut cream can be used instead of vegan yogurt for a richer finish.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
- Roasting enhances flavor, but vegetables can be simmered if short on time.
- Top with toasted seeds or nuts for extra texture.
