The starch of the potato binds the soup later when cooking.

Preparation step 19

Complete soup

Puree or mix the soup with the soft boiled pumpkin vegetables.

-> I almost always use a hand blender for this.

After blending, let the soup stand by the stove for 10-15 minutes.

-> The taste of the pumpkin develops better this way.

Preparation step 20

Make pumpkin soup

Season the soup with salt, pepper, a little sugar and chilli.

Before serving, bring to the boil and mix again with the hand blender.

–> Pour the soup into warmed soup plates.

–> Decorate each plate with a spoonful of soy yoghurt in the middle.

–> Sprinkle the prepared, roasted pumpkin seeds on the soup.

-> Apply a few drops of pumpkin seed oil and serve quickly.

Bon appetit!

The video instructions show you the preparation of the soup as an example.

3. Ingredients for Vegan Pumpkin Soup

It’s easier than you think! You prepare this soup with vegetable broth and plant-based cream .

Soy cream is an alternative to cow’s milk cream .

In the vegetable section, you can grab butternut squash, nutmeg squash , or Hokkaido squash.

Varieties with a light skin are better because the soup gets a great color.

That answers the same question about peeling . I cook Hokkaido pumpkin in the soup with the skin on, I prefer to peel other varieties.

You want it 100% vegan ? Use olive oil instead of butter !

The cream soup has a stronger pumpkin flavor if you add soy cream .

You can season both soup variants lightly or strongly with turmeric and curry .

The vegetable soup will be creamier if you cook one or two chopped potatoes with it .

5. Vegan Ideas for Soup Accompaniments and Decoration of the Pumpkin Soup

The presented pumpkin soup with orange juice tastes slightly sour and the orange flavor goes well with the pumpkin.

The orange juice gives the soup a pleasant depth of taste.

With the right amount of OJ you can conjure up a balanced acidity in the soup.

Season the soup with a little orange juice !

Ingredients tip from chef Thomas Sixt

Modify the soup according to your own taste , supplement and refine with these ideas :

Vegetables and deposits:
– Finely chopped raw spring onion slices or thin spring onion strips
