Ingredients
- 2 3/4 pounds sugar pumpkin or butternut squash, halved and seeded
- 1 onion, peeled and quartered through the stem
- 2 shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps wiped clean
- 1 garlic clove, peeled
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
- 5 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium vegetable stock
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cut pumpkin into 2-inch pieces. Combine pumpkin, onion, mushrooms, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Add oil and 2 teaspoons salt; toss to coat, then spread in a single layer. Roast until pumpkin is tender when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, about 30 minutes, rotating pan and tossing vegetables halfway through. Let cool, then remove skins.
- Transfer vegetables to a medium saucepan; heat over medium. Pour in 2 cups stock; puree with an immersion blender until smooth. With the blender running, slowly add remaining 3 cups stock, and puree until smooth. Bring soup just to a simmer. Remove from heat, and season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

My husband loves this soup. i add a tsp of paprika, and use only 4 cups of broth. and then add pepper to taste.
I was excited to try this soup but I was disappointed. There was no flavor. I added some apple sauce and allspice to give it some sweetness. It made it slightly better, but I won't make it again. The chipotle sweet potato soup recipe is delicious and far more tasty than this. I thought that roasting the veggies first would give it a great flavor, but I think that sugar pumpkins are maybe just too bland. Perhaps a sweeter pumpkin like ambercup squash would be better in this recipe?
This soup is delicious! Very warm and comforting. I add a little more garlic than it calls for. Also, I am vegan and I didn't even have to make any substitutions!
A fabulous winter soup!
I found this one kind of bland, so I added pumpkin spice to the mix to enhance the flavor.
Delicious! If you really like pumpkin, then you'll like this!
