It’s officially pumpkin season! To celebrate we’re dishing our exclusive easy 20 Minute Pumpkin Soup recipe that fits every diet and will make you look like a professional Chef.
Keep this as a last minute go-to recipe this holiday season to impress relatives, or use it as a base and add your own ingredients.
To up the “wow factor” serve it in roasted pumpkin bowls. You can make this ahead of time and freeze it or whip it up quickly while the Turkey is in the oven. Everyone will be raving, even those who don’t normally like pumpkin.
The secret ingredient is coconut cream which gives this soup a rich and slightly sweet flavor. If you prefer a lower fat soup you could use coconut milk instead. That’s another great thing, it’s super flexible so you can customize it to suit any diet including Paleo, Keto, and low fat.
We came up with this recipe one Thanksgiving about 20 minutes before the feast.
We had extra sugar pumpkins and canned pumpkin that we never got around to turning into pumpkin pie and wanted to do something special. We’ve been asked to make it all throughout the year ever since.
This is a great staple to keep in your arsenal and whip out whenever you want something special.
If you like it be sure to pin it for later!
