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 oilinstead of butter !

The cream soup has a stronger pumpkin flavor if you add soy cream .
Coconut milk gives the soup an Asian touch . Then add soy sauce and lime juice .
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 potatoeswith it .
