    Pumpkin Soup recipe with step by step photos and video. Pumpkin soup is a quick , easy and healthy bowl of soup , perfect for fall . It's easy to make with basic ingredients and gets ready under 30 minutes from start to end.

    Most of the pumpkin soup calls for fresh ,but this recipe has no fresh cream other than garnishing. The taste if this no cream pumpkin soup is as good as any cream based soup .

    I'm very fond of pumpkin for it's taste as well as it's health benefits. From chutney, soups , sides, savories , cakes and lattes , I make almost everything from pumpkin. If interested , do check my personal favorite pumpkin recipes like pumpkin chutney , pumpkin khichdi , pumpkin halwa and pumpkin walnut cake .

    Notes

    • As vegetable stock is not used here , Onion and Bay leaf are added while cooking the Pumpkin . To get the taste similar to that of  vegetable stock.
    • Instead of water ,If you are using Vegetable stock ,then no need to use bay leaf  while sautéing pumpkin.
