Bon appetit!

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 !
