Instructions
Step 1
Start by cutting the pumpkin in half and removing the seeds. This step is essential to ensure a smooth texture in your soup.
Then, divide the cauliflower into florets, which will add a nice body to the soup.
Step 2
Place the pumpkin halves and cauliflower florets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Roasting enhances the flavors.
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and roast the vegetables for 1 hour until they are tender.
Step 3
While the vegetables are roasting, finely chop the onion. In a pan, melt some butter and sauté the onion until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
This step will add a lovely depth of flavor to your soup.
Step 4
Once the vegetables are roasted, scoop out the flesh of the pumpkin and place it in a large pot. Add the roasted cauliflower and the sautéed onion.
Stir in the coconut cream and season with black pepper and salt to taste.
Step 5
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, process the mixture until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. Adjust the thickness of the cream soup by adding more liquid if necessary, such as broth or water.
Step 6
Let the cream soup simmer on low heat until it is thoroughly warmed. This will help the flavors meld together beautifully.
Serve the soup in bowls topped with crumbled feta cheese and crispy bacon pieces. Drizzle with olive oil for added richness.
Servings
Serving this Creamy Pumpkin Soup can be a real feast for the eyes! Picture this: you ladle the soup into radiant bowls and top it off with crispy bacon bits 🥓 and drizzle of olive oil 🌿. Each bite combines the velvety soup with a crispy contrast, making every spoonful enjoyable.
To add some flair, sprinkle crumbled feta or Sirtaki cheese on top. This delightful touch pairs perfectly with the soup’s warmth, enhancing its flavors and elevating your dish to a restaurant-worthy status! Don't forget to serve with freshly baked bread for dipping! 🍞
Equipment
A high-quality blender is essential to achieve that smooth, creamy consistency. If you don't have one, you can use an immersion blender for ease!

Choose a sturdy baking tray lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup. It helps roast the vegetables evenly.
You'll need a deep pot to simmer the soup nicely. A heavy-bottomed pot distributes heat evenly, preventing burning.

Faq
- What if I don't have coconut cream?
You can substitute it with heavy cream or even a cashew cream for a nutty touch. Just be mindful of the flavor profile!
- How can I make sure my soup is thick enough?
If you prefer a thicker consistency, simply reduce the amount of liquid you add, or let it simmer to evaporate some moisture for the perfect thickness.
- Can I add other vegetables to this soup?
Absolutely! Carrots or sweet potatoes can add a wonderful sweetness and extra nutrients. Just roast them alongside the pumpkin and cauliflower for the best flavor!
- What spices can I experiment with?
Feel free to play around! A sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon can bring warmth, while adding cayenne can introduce a spicy kick.
- Can I freeze the pumpkin soup?
Yes! Just cool the soup completely, then transfer it to airtight containers. It freezes well for up to 3 months!
- What's the best way to reheat the soup?
Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave. If it thickens after being frozen, stir in a splash of broth or water to loosen it up.
