This savory soup was inspired by my Vegan Tuscan Pumpkin Pasta Sauce. That sauce is so delicious, I want to eat it with a spoon. Hence, why I turned it into a soup. If you’ve ever tried Nordstrom’s famous tomato soup, the flavor of this soup is reminiscent of that, while being entirely dairy-free. Of course if you enjoy dairy, this is the perfect soup for dipping a grilled cheese into, or practically any sandwich, for that matter. What I love about this soup is that it’s a breeze to throw together and has a velvety texture without the need for heavy cream.
Benefits of Pumpkin
Pumpkin is loaded with vitamin A, which is thought to be great for eye health, the antioxidant beta carotene, which may help to prevent cancer, and potassium, to help with muscle recovery after a workout. Paired with tomatoes, which are a great source of vitamin C, iron, and lycopene, which might reduce your risk for heart disease, this soup is a healthy addition to any meal. As an added bonus, you can always use any leftovers as a dip or pasta sauce.
