Roast Pumpkin Sweet Potato Soup
Now that it’s cold we are making soup four times a week. Ask the kids what they want for dinner and it’s soup!!! Mama make soup. Lucky they enjoy vegetable soup so it’s never a problem to make a quick and easy soup.
In fact if you plan ahead you will find that this roast pumpkin and sweet potato soup is quick and easy to make too. The only extra time you need is the oven roasting. Watch the video above to see what I mean.
Now I made this soup in a few combinations of vegetables – roast sweet potato and carrots, butternut squash and sweet potato and of course this pumpkin and sweet potato.
Roast Pumpkin Sweet Potato Soup
What is the secret ingredient in this recipe?
Glad you asked? the secret is the roasting!! It’s the sugars in the vegetables that caramelize so beautifully that adds to the natural sweetness of the soup. If you don’t believe me – you must try making a soup with and without roasting sometimes. The taste difference is huge.
Now I go and not just roast the pumpkin and sweet potato but I also roast the nice large red onion and some garlic cloves. Usually I’d use half or one small garlic in a soup not here!! The garlic when roasted is so sweet and delicious – I add two sometime even three in my soup. Same with the onions. roasted onions are so much more tasty.

Love Soups as much as I do? You may like to check out some of my other Soup Recipes or my recipe index for more comfort food like this.
I like that This soup is healthy but still has just a little bit extra to be indulgent too with butter and cream/milk. Pumpkin and seeet potatoes are a great soup combo – I also have soup recipe featuring these two vegetables
Thank you Julia.. You are right.. this is the perfect combo for soup and so comforting during winters. Truly a comfort food and not to heavy.
Homemade soups are always so good. Love the simplicity of ingredients that make such a flavourful dish. Perfect for this cold weather. Awesome leftovers too.
It sure is perfect for this weather now – It’s really cold over here Gloria. Thanks
This soup sounds fantastic Veena! And pretty healthy too. I should make some of this for my family this week, with coconut milk instead of cream since we have dairy allergies 🙂
Oh I love the sound of coconut milk in that instead of cream. I usually use Almond milk instead. Aadi love coconut but can’t always handle it in everything. Thanks Sarah
