Oh-sweet-easy! Sounds easy & DELICIOUS!
Thanks for sharing Chantelle. I’ll be giving this one a go for sure!!!! I love soup…especially this time of year! My 4 yr old…not so keen on it though!!
I’d have to look back through my files, but I had a super easy slow cooker pumpkin soup recipe too, which I haven’t done this winter yet!

Oh I’d love to see the recipe! x
Try adding a little bit of freshly grated ginger for extra zing or if you aren’t well – yummy!
I have one that is even easier and it’s a Weight Watchers one 🙂
Boil 4 cups of water, 4 chicken stock cubes, 1/2 a butternut pumpkin (or as much as you want really, I usually add a bit more) and one leek sliced until soft then blend in a blender til smooth. Top with sour cream and chives.
Its easy, but why not just do it all in the one pot, add 2 cups of water instead of roasting in over!
Roasting adds another level of flavour. x
Oooo….I love roast pumpkin soup! So much more flavour than just boiling it! I love throwing a couple of crisp bacon pieces on top too! YUMMY!!! Will definitely try this! Way too easy…
I make Pumpkin soup exactly the same way! Once you have done it this way there is no doing it any other way! Quick, simple, easy and best of all delicious! What more could you want 🙂
Exactly my thoughts. The only other way I like it, is if I’m not cooking it at all … and instead Hubby is! x
oooh yeah! you could roast it all peeled in the pot then add all the other bits on the stove. Butternuts are easy to peel with a peeler, rather than handling it hot. And I am all for the stick blender jammed it and whizzing it up!
Oh that sounds so yummy~ never thought to bake it first….cant wait to try this easy pumpkin soup recipe!
This is great! I hate chopping pumpkin, it takes way too much time and effort .
And peeling it. Ugh!
Yummo! We love pumpkin soup in our house – my stepdaughter will usually eat 2 big bowls! I usually add a sweet potato to the soup, and a bit of curry powder too.
This is the Donna Hay recipe isn’t it? I always forget to add the honey! And I usually add some chilli powder to appease my husband as he HATES pumpkin. *sigh* I could live on pumpkin.
I’m keen to try this. I love roast pumpkin but ive never been a fan of pumpkin soup. I think i may just have to give it another go.
I have a (silly!) question – What do you do with the onion? Do you dice or just slice it? Or does it not matter when it’s going in a blender? I really love pumkin soup, but I’m absolutely diabolical at cooking so I tend not to. My local takeaway does a roaring trade from me…..!
Hi Sarah, Hopefully Chantelle clarifies, but I chopped the onion into chunks and it burnt (LOL, I am a terrible cook). I’d leave it whole or halves unless someone better at cooking tells you otherwise 😉
Yes, just halves. Sorry. I’ll fix up the recipe. x
I made it tonight! Forgot the honey, but yummo!!
This is the perfect pumpkin soup! Just replaced my own favourite recipe with this new favourite one, Chantelle. Next to try will be the Tim tam tart!
