Most people seem to be over the whole pumpkin thing by the end of October. Me? I’m just getting started. I can’t get enough of pumpkin spice lattes, sourdough pumpkin cinnamon rolls, pumpkin ice cream, just to name a few!
Since pumpkins can keep for many months in a cool dry place, I stock up on the iconic fall vegetable, and continue to use the pumpkin flesh in countless recipes throughout the winter.
This creamy pumpkin soup recipe is the perfect meal for those chilly fall days and a great way to use up our stash of pumpkins. Serve it with a fresh salad topped with homemade salad dressing, or a melty sourdough grilled cheese sandwich for an incredibly simple and delicious meal.

How to Make Roasted Pumpkin Soup
Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Using a sharp knife, cut up the pumpkin into 1” pieces and chop the onion. Add the pumpkin pieces, onion, garlic cloves, paprika, cumin, ginger, black pepper, and olive oil to a 9×13” baking dish.
Step 2: Toss until everything is mixed and coated in the oil and seasonings. Bake for 30-40 minutes, tossing every 15 minutes or until the pumpkin is fork tender.
Step 3: Remove from the oven and let cool for about 15 minutes.
Step 4: Add the roasted pumpkin to a high-speed stand blender along with 2 cups of the broth and salt. Blend on high for about 1-2 minutes until completely smooth.
Step 5: Pour into a small pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add more broth if desired for a thinner consistency.
Step 6: Serve with desired toppings and enjoy!

- When roasting the pumpkin and other ingredients, use a sheet of parchment paper on the baking dish to make for easier clean up.

Can you used canned pumpkin?
That should work!
Pumpkin and squash are two things I have in my kitchen throughout the fall season. The recipe for roasted pumpkin and acorn squash is something I tried yesterday and totally loved it.
The combination of Acorn Squash with pumpkin is something that has always tempted me and when the recipe taught me how good roasted pumpkins taste, I simply could not resist the urge to make this dish. Well, to be honest, this has been a wonderful experience overall!
How much ground ginger? It’s not in the ingredients but it’s in the instructions.
Was there an answer for how much ginger to use?
Thanks 😊
1/2 tsp ground ginger. Sorry about that.
Can you can this soup? I think it would make a delicious Christmas addition to a gift basket.
I made this soup with veggie broth and it was delicious. I did change the bulb of garlic to a clove of garlic. Was it really meant to have a whole bulb?
I am always looking for new recipes to try, especially quick and easy ones. I would have never thought to use pumpkins in anything other than pies. I’m glad that i came across this recipe an i must say, that it was quite delicious. Thank you.
Do you have any videos on baby food?
