Easy Vegan Pumpkin Soup

This easy vegan pumpkin soup can be on the table in about 30 minutes. Bursting with spices in a silky pumpkin base that you’d never guess was dairy-free — this will be your new favorite fall soup!

Sometimes I like to take a purist, from-scratch approach with my recipes. And other times I just want dinner on the table as soon as possible.

Okay, maybe the latter happens more often. But when I take shortcuts, I try to have them make sense.

Canned Pumpkin Soup

This soup takes a big shortcut: it’s made with pumpkin from a can. Most veggies I like to use fresh, but pumpkin is a bit of project to prep, and over the years I’ve realized that canned pumpkin actually makes better pumpkin soup.

If you’d rather make a 100% from scratch vegan pumpkin soup using fresh pumpkin, try subbing sugar pumpkin in my butternut squash soup recipe. If you simply want an incredibly delicious dairy-free pumpkin soup on the table asap, come along with me!

How to Make Vegan Pumpkin Soup

Start by heating your oil in a large pot. Once the oil is hot, add a diced onion. Cook it for about 10 minutes, until it softens up and begins to brown.

Stir in the garlic, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and pepper. Cook everything for a minute or so, until it becomes very fragrant. Now stir in your pumpkin, broth, coconut milk, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar.

Bring the mixture up to a boil, lower the heat, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes, until it thickens up just a bit.

Take the pot off of the burner and season the soup with salt to taste. You can adjust any other seasonings to your liking at this point as well.
