    Spicy Vegan Pumpkin Soup

    SPICY VEGAN PUMPKIN SOUP, with hidden veggies! Luxuriously smooth and velvety rich. Gluten Free and great for meal prepping. #vegan #soup #pumpkin #spicy

    THIS RECIPE.

    Truly, it is the most luxurious in taste and texture. Velvety smooth with a spicy kick that will warm you up from the inside out, but also packed with hidden veggies to fill you up. Shh don’t tell anyone!

    Best way to describe this Spicy Vegan Pumpkin Soup? A great big hug in disguise. And hugs are the best.

    Honestly, it was a happy accident. I was hungry/dreaming about soup and threw it together on a whim at 10pm last night… (and again this afternoon, for real) without any intention of actually sharing it because I didn’t even know what it would turn out like! I happened to have ingredients for a festive fall weather soup and felt a rush of creativity, so I followed my intuition and here we are.

    These kinds of recipes from the heart really are the best. From the vibrant golden color to the fall-like feel of the pictures, I’m actually in love with this soup, which doesn’t happen often, so take my word for it and don’t pass this one up!

    Okay, back to the hidden veggies because I know you’re dying to hear what you can sneak into to your boyfriend/husband/kids diet without them knowing.

    We’re saut?ing onion, carrot, zucchini, cauliflower, baked sweet potato and pur?ed pumpkin, along with anti-inflammatory turmeric (amongst other spices) and light coconut milk for richness and healthy fats.

    Talk about dreamy! Plus jalape?o for spice, but feel free to leave out if necessary, although it adds that touch of heat that feels so good on a cold day.

    I used pure pumpkin from a can, but if you’re too fancy for that – feel free to bake your own pumpkin and pur?e it for this soup. After baking your sweet potato and saut?ing the veggies, you will combine all ingredients in a blender to pur?e, or feel free to use a hand immersion blender. I just love the velvety smooth consistency from blending.

    PRO TIP: Bake a couple sweet potatoes at the beginning of each week. That’s what I did and it was so nice to have one on hand in the fridge, ready to go, at 10pm on a Monday night LOL.

    This recipe makes 6 heaping cups of soup – so about 4 large bowls, making it a great ?meal prep” recipe! Plus, soups are transportable and easy to re-heat. I stored leftovers in weck jars.

    Description

    A luxuriously smooth and velvety rich vegan soup recipe, with hidden veggies! Gluten Free and great for meal prepping.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
    • 1/2 white onion, diced
    • 1/2–1 jalapeño, diced, with seeds
    • 2 cloves minced garlic
    • 1 large carrot, sliced
    • 1/2 head of cauliflower florets (about 2–3 cups)
    • 1/2 zucchini, diced
    • 1 15 oz. can light coconut milk
    • 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
    • 1/2 baked sweet potato
    • 1 15 oz. can puréed pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling!)
    • 1 teaspoon pure maple syrup
    • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
    • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon tamari (or low-sodium soy sauce/liquid aminos)
    • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and pepper, or more to taste

    Instructions

    1. *You will need a baked sweet potato for this recipe.
    2. Heat coconut oil over medium-high heat in a medium-sized pan. Sauté onion and jalapeño until translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Stir in garlic, carrots, cauliflower and zucchini. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then cover with a lid. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until veggies are soft.
    3. Meanwhile, in a blender, combine coconut milk, veggie broth, baked sweet potato, pumpkin and all remaining spices/ingredients. Once veggies are soft, carefully add in 3/4 of the mixture, leaving some behind for a topping on the soup.
    4. Using a high speed blender, blend until super smooth and velvety. My blender has a button for “soup” which also heats it up but if not, please transfer to a pot and warm on the stove!
    5. Serve in bowls with leftover veggies for topping.
    6. Enjoy!

      Any chance butternut squash could be used to substitute the pumpkin?

      This was delicious. I pretty much tripled the recipe so I didn’t have halves of vegetables laying around. My family loved it.

      Shannon, this looks so good! Can the half sweet potato just be replaced by more pumpkin?

what are you guys up to today?! I’m installing our new shower filter that I can’t wait to share about, running errands, cleaning, thinking about dinner, the usual Sunday things 💗💗💗
    HANDLE NAME CHANGE!! I’ve been wanting to do th HANDLE NAME CHANGE!!

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while as a fresh start with all the changes to my “brand” in the last year. It feels right to just use my name 😀 (fun fact: I haven’t taken my hubbys last name yet because of business paperwork that I’m too lazy to figure out 😅 name changes are complicated) 

@theglowingfridge started out of my love for the plant based lifestyle but so much has changed in the last 9 years and I’ve been itching to update. Nothing else will change and my blog will still remain as is, if you still use my recipes and such. Love you all and thank you for supporting me through all these changes 🤍🤍🤍

When my blood sugar is on a nasty rollercoaster, I’m not the best mama that I know I should be for my girl. I’m more irritable and short. So I prioritize protein, healthy fats and carbs at each meal. This helps me feel balanced and provides energy to play and chase after her all day! I need all the fuel I can get.

    I don’t get ready everyday… But when I do I f I don’t get ready everyday…

But when I do I feel better, duh! And more confident. More productive. Happier in general. Of course I have super lazy days but I try to get myself together because I’m more likely to leave the house, you know mamas? I hate when people ask “why do you get ready if you’re home all day”.. 

I’m sharing different content like this because I feel like it and don’t want to be stuck in a box 😀

    I mean if you drink it everyday… It should be o I mean if you drink it everyday…

It should be organic, mold-free, tested for mycotoxins and taste delicious, etc. King coffee goes a step further with a therapeutic dose of reishi spores, the most powerful and potent part of reishi mushroom! Most other companies use the lucidum part of reishi, in case you’re wondering 👑

    passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹 I passes & smashes for gut healing ❤️‍🩹

I have many more passes too.. extreme diets, too many supplements, gluten, juice cleanses, eating too fast and not chewing enough.. the list goes on!

Gut healing takes a multi-faceted approach and it’s never just one supplement to heal or one thing to do.

It takes time, patience and grace! And working alongside a practitioner you feel called to 🙏🏼
