Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Soup

I know it’s April and not really pumpkin season. But I’ve never been much of a rule follower anyway. It’s a cold and dreary, soggy day here in the beautiful Garden State so it’s just the day for some warm, soothing soup. Plus, I’m always up for making something I can toss together in the slow cooker.

This recipe is made with pumpkin, which is chock full of beta-carotene. It also has curry, cumin, garlic and onion. These ingredients  each have their own beneficial nutrient profile. But if you’re looking for something that tastes like pumpkin pie, this is not it. It’s savory and seasoned with a little sweetness…and completely delicious.

I’ve said before that convenience is key for me when necessary. I used canned pumpkin and coconut milk and a carton of veggie broth. I buy organic and when I use canned and packaged food, I make sure in only includes ingredients I would use in a recipe when possible.

If it’s cold and nasty where you live now, give this a try. You can usually find canned pumpkin in the grocery store all year. Let me know how much you loved it.
