How to Make this delicious recipe

  1.  In a large pot, add all the ingredients except the milk. I try not to waste any food. so I usually eat the pumpkin skin if it’s good, if not then I will cut it off. In this recipe I tried to make it as easy as possible, you don’t need to bake the pumpkin in the oven.
  2. Once you cut all the vegetables and added them to the pot, bring to a boil and cover, to low simmer at a gentle boil for 20 minutes. You know the soup is ready when the pumpkin is fork tender and lentils are cooked.
  3. Remove the soup from heat ,add the milk and let it cool for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Use a stand blender, puree the soup to the desired consistency.
  5. Serve it with vegan yogurt, parsley and your favorite bread. Enjoy it

Best Pumpkin for the pumpkin soup

You can use any type of eating pumpkin you want or like. You can also use butternut squash, but do not use Halloween craving pumpkin because they’re used for craving. They are nutritious and perfectly edible if they haven’t been carved and left outside for days.

How to peel & cut a pumpkin for the soup

Cutting and peeling the roundish pumpkin could be really annoying. If you don’t wanna peel and cut it into small pieces, you can always bake it in the oven for about 40 minutes. So you can peel it faster.

Cut the pumpkin in half, remove all the seeds and save and roast them up for a crunchy topping. Super easy to make, add whatever spices you like and a bit of oil and bake them until they’re crunchy.

Then cut the halved pumpkin slices in half. Using a sharp knife cut down along the side of the pumpkin to remove the hard skin.

After you’re done cut the slices into medium cubes(it doesn’t have to be too small) because once it’s cooked you will be blending everything together.

Perfect to Make in advance

It’s easy to make and the leftovers taste even better the next day. So, you could certainly make the soup a day in advance. You can also make double this recipe and freeze it in batches for later, then you have a delicious homemade creamy pumpkin soup when you’re in the need.

Please enjoy this recipe! If you tried it let me know and I love seeing your creations and remakes, so be sure to tag me on Instagram.
