Friends, meet my favourite pumpkin soup recipe - my Pumpkin and Sweet Potato Soup. Or Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup, as it's known to my American friends.
This soup is creamy without any cream (magic).
It's filled with good-for-you ingredients.
And thanks to the roasted vegetables, it's full of flavour.
Sure, one-pot recipes are nice and all, but taking the extra step to throw the veggies in the oven for 30 minutes before pulling this soup together gives it more depth and flavour. The result - a deliciously sweet soup that the whole family will love.
And I mean the WHOLE family, since this soup is also...
- Whole30 Compliant
- Gluten-Free
- Dairy-Free
- Vegan (just use veggie stock)
- Paleo
- SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE
Serve this sweet potato pumpkin soup as is, or with a dollop of greek yoghurt, some crunchy croutons or pepitas on top.
Feel free to go ahead and make a batch for meal prep. This soup freezes extremely well, making it perfect for portioning out for work lunches or quick weeknight dinners.

HOW TO MAKE PUMPKIN AND SWEET POTATO SOUP - STEP BY STEP
What's the best pumpkin to use for soup?
I love to use Butternut Pumpkin / Butternut Squash in this recipe but you can use any pumpkin you want.
In Australia, Jap, Kent or Queensland Blue would all work well.
In the US, sugar or pie pumpkins would also work. You can even use canned pumpkin if you wish.

Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. Olive oil

Instructions
- Set the oven to 200C / 390F and line a baking tray with baking / parchment paper.
