When the leaves change and the air turns crisp, this Autumn-Spiced Roasted Pumpkin Soup is the bowl you want in your hands. It’s creamy, flavorful, and infused with fall warmth through spices like ginger, cumin, and chili flakes. With roasted Hokkaido pumpkin, carrots, garlic, onions, and a swish of coconut milk, it captures both comfort and seasonal brightness in every spoonful.
What Sets This Pumpkin Soup Apart?
This isn’t your ordinary pumpkin soup — it uses roasted pumpkin (for depth of flavor) plus a blend of warm spices to bring that cozy autumn vibe. The coconut milk gives it velvety creaminess without heaviness, and a touch of heat from red chili flakes balances the sweetness.
It’s a perfect starter for holiday dinners, a warming lunch, or a light dinner on cool evenings.

Step 1: Roast the Vegetables

Step 2: Build the Soup
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot, add vegetable broth, and bring to a gentle boil. Let simmer for 10 minutes to meld flavors.
Step 3: Blend Until Smooth
Use an immersion blender (or regular blender in batches) until the soup is silky. Return to pot if needed.
Step 4: Add Coconut Milk & Finish
Stir in the coconut milk and simmer an extra 2–3 minutes. (If using lime juice, stir it in just before serving.)
