Homemade Pumpkin Soup never tasted so good. A lighter Pumpkin flavour, thanks to a few added ingredients. Creamy and delicious. Don’t forget to add some Parmesan Croutons.

Pumpkin Soup

I think one of the best things about Fall, (although I have to admit Fall is my favourite season, so I love everything about it), has to be soup!

Squash is everywhere in the stores now. So I have been experimenting a bit with it this year. I even made a very tasty Pumpkin Focaccia with Black Olives.

My daughter and my husband aren’t crazy about a really strong Pumpkin taste so I made it creamy and on the lighter side with the addition of potatoes and leek.

How to Make Pumpkin Soup

  • In a large pot add olive oil and the chopped leek, cook for about 2 minutes.
  • Then add the cubed pumpkin, potatoes, parsley, salt, pepper and broth.
  • Cook for approximately 30 minutes.
  • Then blend until smooth.
  • Re heat with a little cream and serve with Homemade Parmesan Croutons.

It’s so easy to make Parmesan Croutons, just take some day old crusty Italian bread. Cut a few slices, I remove the crust but you probably don’t have to.

Cut the slices into cubes, toss with a little olive oil and a couple of tablespoons of parmesan cheese. Place the cubes on a cookie sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, halfway through mix them up so they brown on all sides.

One of the best things about a thick hearty soup such as this Pumpkin Soup is that you really don’t need anything else, except maybe a good crusty bread and a simple salad.

Since I added a few extra ingredients to this Soup Recipe to lessen the taste of the pumpkin I think pretty well any available squash would work in this soup.

Such as butternut, acorn, Kabocha and pumpkin (such as Small Sugar, New England Pie, Baby Pam, and Pik-A-Pie).

So if you are looking for a tasty Homemade Pumpkin Soup to make this Fall and Winter Season, I hope you give this a try. Buon Appetito!

        This site is so spoiling me! I have never cooked or baked without first double checking the user comments.
        But now, I am just following recipes without thinking and they always turn out awesome and delicious.
        Thank you for posting and sharing with us.
        The soup is absolutely fantastic!

        Any tips for cutting a raw pumpkin? I’m imagining that like butternut squash it’s probably tough. Thanks!!

          Hi Hannah I just place it on a wood lard and with a sharp carving knife I cut it into pieces, then with a smaller knife I carefully remove the skin. Hope that helps.
