This Roasted Cauliflower Pumpkin Soup is a creamy, flavorful vegan soup made without heavy cream. It’s an easy, comforting recipe perfect for a cozy dinner or a simple, nourishing side.
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C). Place the chopped pumpkin, cauliflower florets, and onion on a baking sheet. Toss with olive oil, salt, and spices until well coated.
3 cups cauliflower florets, 3 cups pumpkin, 1 small onion, 2 tablespoons olive oil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ½ teaspoon smoked paprika, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, ¾ teaspoon salt
Roast for 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and easily pierced with a fork.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot and add the vegetable broth. Heat over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 3–4 minutes.
3 cups vegetable broth
Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, allow the soup to cool slightly and blend in batches in a regular blender.
Serve warm, topped with pumpkin seeds and chopped parsley.
Notes
Roasting tip: Spread the vegetables in a single layer on the baking sheet so they roast and caramelize rather than steam.
Adjust texture: Add more vegetable broth for a thinner soup or simmer longer for a thicker consistency.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
