Frequently asked questions

Is Pumpkin Soup Healthy?

Yes. It also depends on what ingredients are put into your pumpkin soup. Most pumpkin soups are quite healthy and made with simple and fresh ingredients. Pumpkins, in general, are good for you and for heart health. They are loaded with fiber, potassium, and vitamin C which have been shown to support the heart and regulate blood pressure.

How long does homemade pumpkin soup last?

Most vegetable or pumpkin soup recipes that have already been cooked should last 3-4 days in the fridge. If you would like to keep your pumpkin soon longer, place it in an airtight container and freeze it for up to 3 months.

Do I have to peel pumpkin for soup?

Even though the skins of either pumpkins or squash are edible, it is best to peel them for a soup recipe. This is because some pumpkin skins might be too tough and not cook through well enough. So it’s best to just peel them.

    I was having a couple of guests coming over for dinner last week and all of them were vegan. This made me think of making this soup with roasted pumpkins. The starters to the meal were so good everyone praised my creation. I am delighted to come across this soup recipe which presents one with explosion of flavors and myriad comforting tastes.

    The best way I found for me to roast any pumpkin or squash is to leave it whole. Just pop it in the oven on a baking sheet with parchment, bake it let the pumpkin cool and and all the skin and seeds come right off and out! Whala!
