INSTANT CAN’T TELL IT’S VEGAN PUMPKIN SOUP RECIPE
Nothing says autumn like pumpkin – and a nice warm vegan pumpkin soup recipe soothes the soul and gets us excited for all of the holiday events.
This recipe is a wonderful and healthy modern interpretation of a classic pumpkin soup and is quick and easy to make in your high powered blender. (If you have a regular blender don’t fret – you can blend then heat up on the stove!)
It is a little spicy and the coconut milk gives this pumpkin recipe an interesting depth, however you can absolutely use another milk substitute if that’s what you have on hand (as Blender Babes say: Use What You Got!).
You can also try making your own homemade pumpkin puree.
This vegan pumpkin soup recipe is an ideal simple dinner or it can make 4 appetizers.
Served as hors d’oeuvre sized portions in a tiny dish or shot glass (8), this is also a good choice for an autumnal dinner party or cocktail party! So tasty, you can’t even tell it’s vegan!

Vegetable broth? I’m from the UK and there is no such thing in the UK. Is it the same as vegetable stock?
Yes, it’s generally the same. Cooking vegetables in water, then drain the veggies. What’s left is the broth/stock and using it in other recipes.
