Vegan Pumpkin Soup Recipe

Vegan Pumpkin Soup Recipe

Posted on January 31, 2022January 24, 2023

I’ve noticed that a lot of people still struggle to make vegan recipes for dinner. Now that I have been vegan for more than 4 years, I find it hard to recognize this struggle. For me personally, making any recipe vegan is not hard at all. Also, after all this time I know where to find recipes that suit me best. However, vegan is not the norm. In The Netherlands, only 1% of the population is vegan. And so, it is important for me to help people make this transition. I want my blog to be like an encyclopedia for an eco-positive lifestyle. You can find anything in here. This includes practical things like vegan recipes. And so today I am sharing a vegan pumpkin soup recipe with you. 

Vegan Whole Foods Recipe

Yes, this blog should be a source of information for anyone. No cooking inspiration? This blog comes up in your mind. That means that I have to provide some good basic recipes on here. So far, there’s only 2 recipes for dinner on my blog, risotto and a quinoa salad. That is improving today! If you want to eat this soup I am sharing today as lunch, this is fine too. The recipes I am sharing on this blog are always vegan and easy to make as well. I also try to provide low- or zero waste recipes. But besides that I also try to focus on not having too much processed foods in the recipes. I believe a vegan, whole foods diet is most healthy and makes us thrive. That’s why I try to share mostly those recipes, with vegan junk food being a special treat. 

Ingredients

I recommend you to buy all of the listed here organic. That’s what’s most healthy for the earth and so it is for us too. We need healthy soils to thrive. Here’s what you need:

  • 0.5 kg of butternut squash
  • 1 onion
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon of cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon of smoked paprika powder
  • 200 grams of canned tomatoes (maybe you can use fresh ones too, but I have not tried this yet)
  • Vegetable broth (buy this zero waste in glass and the jar will tell you how much to use)
  • 600 ml water

Vegan Pumpkin Soup Recipe

You chop the butternut squash in half and only take out the seeds. You can even bake the seeds in the oven to then eat them and save food waste! If not, just compost them. Leave the skin from the butternut squash on and cut it into smaller pieces. Size doesn’t matter much. Chop the onion and garlic. Heat a pan (I don’t use oil in a pan because that’s processed food) and bake the onion and garlic until they’re a little soft. Use a soup-pan for this, because you’re going to be pureeing in here. Then add the pumpkin pieces, cinnamon, cumin and paprika powder and bake for 5 minutes. Next, add the can of chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth and water. Leave this to summer for 30 minutes. At last, you turn off the heat and puree the soup!

Easy To Make

The recipe I am sharing today is one of my go-to recipes when I have a butternut squash in my Too Good to Go boxes. As I said, it’s really easy because you just have to throw all the ingredients together and puree it. When it’s simmering you can even do something else while you wait. I find that salt and pepper are not necessary in this recipe because you already use vegetable broth. Also, no oils which I find fantastic. Something I might try the next time is adding a bit of coconut milk to see what this does, but I am not sure yet. Also, I will try to make it with fresh tomatoes soon too, maybe then we can leave out the can to decrease the waste even more. 

Do you ever make pumpkin soup?

Yours sincerely,
Romee

ABOUT ME

 

Hi! My name is Romee Hoeksma and I am on a journey to an eco-positive life. An eco-positive lifestyle is a lifestyle in which I have a more positive than negative impact on the beautiful planet earth. On this blog you can follow my journey to a life with only positive impact. At this blog you can find all sorts of things, from tips to recipes to personal experiences, but most of all fun (I hope!). I write about how I want to change the world, but don’t look at it as if I’m judging you. If anything, I like responses from my dear readers the most, so don’t hesitate to contact me or respond to any of my posts!

Yours sincerely,
Romee

Ik gebruik al jaren een bamboe tandenborstel, die van Humble Brush 🎋. Naast dat hun product duurzaam is, doen ze ook wat moois met de winst. Dat maakt een product nou echt eco-positief! Je leest meer over poetsen met bamboe op mijn blog, via de link in mijn bio. Vandaag op de blog: iets waarbij de relatie met eco-positief leven wat indirect is: diëten. Januari is dé maand waarin veel mensen weer aan het diëten slaan en daarom leek het me goed om deze post nog net op de valreep in januari te delen. De blog van vandaag gaat slechts over één van de vele nadelen van diëten: het leidt ons af van wat echt belangrijk is 🧐. Weten waarom ik dat denk? Lees dan nu het artikel via de link in mijn bio. Ik ga dit jaar weer de challenge aan om de winter door te komen zonder de warming aan te zetten. Hiervoor ging mijn essential, een warmwaterkruik 💦, kapot. In deze reel laat ik je zien hoe ik een ‘nieuwe’ tweedehands kruik kocht. Vandaag te lezen op whenateengoesgreen.com: een inspirerende documentary over Greta Thunberg: I am Greta. Een documentaire over hoop, maar vooral over doorzettingsvermogen 🔥. Lees het nu via de link in mijn bio. Meer vegan producten in de schappen, yay! Gisteren probeerde ik voor het eerst de vegan lentil tikki masala saus van Patak’s 🧑🏼‍🍳. Zie in deze reel wat ik ervan vond. Vandaag verscheen er een nieuw artikel op mijn blog over: 5 dingen die ik niet koop. Want we denken vaak dat we dingen écht nodig hebben, maar vaak is dat niet zo 🧠. Check het artikel via de link in miijn bio. Vorige week verscheen er een artikel op mijn blog over alles wat ik nieuw kocht in 2022. Dat is een groot deel van mijn negatieve impact. Deze week was het tijd om te kijken naar de andere kant van de medaille. Vandaag lees je op mijn blog een artikel over al mijn positive impact in 2022 🌞. Je vind de link naar het artikel in de link in mijn bio. Afgelopen week verscheen er op mijn blog een artikel over alles wat ik nieuw heb gekocht in 2022. Eén ding op de lijst waren deze onderbroeken (een stuk of 20). En nu denk je misschien: waarom zou je in één keer zoveel onderbroeken kopen? Op 31 december, nog net op de valreep in 2022, kwam er een video online op mijn Youtube-kanaal over voedselcoöperaties. Ik denk namelijk dat voedselcoöperaties ons voedselsysteem democratischer en eerlijker kunnen maken 🥦.
