COZY Pumpkin and Potato Soup | Quick & EASY Heartwarming Recipe
This Cozy Pumpkin and Potato Soup is filled with flavors, made with basic pantry staples and all done in about 30 minutes. Serve it warm, at room temperature or even chilled. Either way, enjoy it next to a crunchy baguette for a delicious and heart-healthy meal.
To make this recipe, I used canned pumpkin puree. Just to make things quicker and easier. You can also use fresh pumpkin here if you like. About 1 lb (450 grams) will do. Just chop it up into bite-size pieces and add at the same time as the potatoes.
To puree the soup, I used a hand blender. But you can also use a food processor, stand-up blender or even a nutribullet. Either way, if you see your soup is too thick once it’s pureed, just add in some more broth until the desired texture.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: I topped the soup off with some Greek yogurt and roasted pumpkin seeds. You can easily veganize this recipe by omitting the yogurt or using your favorite plant-based yogurt.
