I have already started delving into fall recipes! Last week I shared Instant Pot Beer Braised Beef Short Ribs, holy goodness! So yes, I am embracing Pumpkin week with one of my favorite fall soup recipes!
This Pumpkin Soup recipe is one that I can vary the ingredients! This soup can be adjusted for a Vegan diet.
Today I am sharing my all time favorite, Harvest Pumpkin Soup! This healthy fall soup is a crowd-pleaser. A great make-ahead soup too! The pumpkin soup can be frozen until ready to eat. At that time, add in the cream and heat. Great for Thanksgiving meal prep.
Homemade Pumpkin Soup is a great way to enjoy fall flavors with a meal that is ready in 30 minutes. I love this Pumpkin soup because it's a no-brainer easy soup that takes little prep and ready in no time!
I do love homemade pumpkin puree, I really do! Here is the thing, I over commit to making dishes during any family event! Then I go into psycho-mode "why did I commit to 8 dishes to bring". I have a problem with saying no and I feel like everything has to be from scratch.
I do make most recipes from scratch. There are times when we need to use a store made ingredient and the end result is usually awesome!
It's ok for us to use a jar of marinara, can of chicken stock, and yes canned pumpkin puree! Does this mean I don't make any of these from scratch, absolutely not! However, we have to realize, we cannot do it all and we need to compromise.

Can this Pumpkin Soup recipe be a freezer friendly meal?
Absolutely. Make this soup up until the cream gets added. I freeze in 1-quart bags. When ready to eat, defrost the pumpkin soup. Heat soup add the cream, eat and enjoy! Pumpkin Soup can keep about 3 months in the freezer. Think Thanksgiving! Make ahead!
How long can this Pumpkin Soup Recipe be kept in the fridge?
This soup keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days. At Thanksgiving, this is one recipe you can either make ahead and freeze or make a few days before and keep well covered in the fridge.
What spices can be added to Harvest Pumpkin Soup?
I use cinnamon, nutmeg, cumin, and thyme to this soup. Variations may be turmeric, allspice, parsley, basil, and coriander. Experiment and enjoy the results!
Is Pumpkin Soup good for weight loss?
In general, pumpkin soup is low in calories. Adjusting the cream to fat-free half and half can reduce calories further.
