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.

What is the secret to 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 sometimes even three in my soup. Same with the onions. roasted onions are so much tastier.

    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

    I absolutely agree with you on roasting the vegetables. They just make the soup so sweet and flavorful. Love the color of the soup and my family would love this. We all like creamy soups and this is perfect!
