Easy Roasted Pumpkin Soup
It's pumpkin time again, and these vegetables look beautiful. And I love to cook with them. This is a delicious soup, full of flavor and nice and thick. And without dairy products! I ate this soup with delicious rosemary pumpkin rolls, still warm from the oven, with some garlic butter. It's irresistibly delicious!
Because pumpkin has no distinct taste, it quickly becomes too bland. You can easily remedy that in this recipe by seasoning your stock well with salt and pepper (if you still need to) and roasting the pumpkin. Roasting makes the pumpkin soft and sweet and gives the soup a deep, rich flavor. And by adding the chive oil, you add an extra flavor to this soup.
Dairy-Free Pumpkin Soup
To pumpkin soup, often added cream or milk is added, but this meal soup is already thick and creamy without dairy products. This is a filling meal soup. The Maple Syrup and nutmeg give an autumn tint to the soup. And the homemade chive oil is a nice counterpart to the sweetness in the soup.
In any case, I will thoroughly enjoy delicious pumpkin recipes this fall. But first, I will enjoy this delightful bowl of pumpkin soup. Full of real comfort food!
