How to make vegan pumpkin sweet potato soup
You might actually laugh at how simple this dish is.
To make this soup recipe:
- Prep the baked sweet potatoes ahead of time. I have a whole guide on how to perfectly bake the sweet potatoes in the oven (an excellent resource for making sweet potato casserole as well!) so that you get those yummy caramelized sugars.
- Then puree the sweet potato and pumpkin together.
- Add in the oat milk and puree again.
- Pour everything into a pot on the stove top and stir it all together. Heat the soup on low, giving it a stir, then cover it to cook for 20 minutes.
- Serve with a splash of fresh coconut cream, fresh thyme, and a drizzle of olive oil!
Can I use homemade pumpkin puree for this pumpkin and sweet potato soup?
Absolutely! If you can make your own pumpkin puree, definitely swap it in for the canned version.
You can use about 2 cups of fresh pumpkin puree.
How to serve this healthy pumpkin soup
I personally love to top my healthy pumpkin sweet potato soup with a little extra coconut cream and a drizzle of olive oil.
Sprinkle on some extra fresh herbs, and you have a super elegant yet incredibly easy fall dinner recipe!
Of course, you can top your sweet potato soup with something else:
- pumpkin seeds
- hemp seeds
- microgreens
- freshly cracked pepper
- vegan croutons
- toasted bread
- fresh basil
- tahini
This super creamy vegan sweet potato soup goes perfectly alongside other main dishes, such as my Paleo vegan spaghetti squash Alfredo or my vegan lentil “meatloaf,” but it can also just be served as is (especially if you add in the vegan pea protein).
I hope you love this easy vegan pumpkin sweet potato soup as much as I do! If you make it, let me know down below in the comments section, as well as giving it a rating so that others can see it.
