The weather is getting colder, there is nothing better than a delicious bowl of soup. It warms you from the inside out and it’s just a real feel good.

With so many seasonable soups to choose from this time of year, it’s hard to pick a favorite. But I always have a soft spot for pumpkin soups. It’s just perfect for autumn, and it just screams harvest. And pumpkin soup always seems like it has the perfect combination of aromatic fall spices and sweet maple syrup. It’s easy to fill up on one bowl or even two.

When it comes to pumpkin soups, it can get a bad rap of being complicated and super time consuming. Many pumpkin soup recipes involve preparing the whole pumpkin. So you need to cut it, scrape the seeds and pulp, chop it up, and roast it before you can even start making the soup.

But, if you want to keep it easy, and I am a big fan of shortcuts to delicious meals, Easy Maple Pumpkin Soup  is simple, satisfying, and oh, so easy to make. Instead of using a whole pumpkin, it is prepared with pumpkin puree. (Just make sure that you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling)

Seriously, making soup doesn’t get easier than this. There is no chopping, dicing, or slicing. Simply add a few cans of pumpkin puree and other tasty and common pantry items – like vegetable broth, maple syrup, and of course some tasty spices – and let them cook together. Before you know it, you’ll have an an amazing, mouth watering, fall flavored soup. Pretty easy, right?

It’s so tasty, no one will believe that you made it by throwing together some pantry staples.

How to Make Easy Maple Pumpkin Soup

A simple and savory soup that’s is as easy to make as it is delicious. It’s made from a handful of pantry staples, so you can easily keep these ingredients stocked and throw it together any time.

Step 1: Add Pumpkin Puree and Vegetable Broth

When you are making this soup, make sure that you use pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin puree is a cooked pumpkin that is blended to be completely smooth. When you use canned pumpkin puree, it is already washed, steamed, cut, and steamed. And it will come out of the can completely smooth. So, there is no need to puree your soup after cooking, because it’s already perfectly pureed. You have to love cooking shortcuts!

Pumpkin pie filling, on the hand, is sweetened and prepared to be used in freshly baked desserts. You don’t want your savory autumn soup to taste like dessert. There’s a time for dessert and a time for savory soups.

Now, that we have the right ingredeints, add the pumpkin puree and vegetable broth to the a large pot. Mix to combine.

Step 2: Cook

When the pumpkin puree and the vegetable broth cook together, the flavors of this soup start to come together. The vegetable broth adds flavors of perfectly cooked vegetables, but still leaves the pumpkin as the star of this dish.

Heat your soup over medium heat and stir occasionally. You want your soup to heat and cook evenly. A little stir here and there is perfect.

Step 3: Flavor the Soup

Seasonal autumn and winter soups are even more delicious when they are made with the right mix of flavors. When it comes to flavoring your soup, it’s always tastier when it hits several flavor profiles.

There are three delicious flavors in the Easy Maple Pumpkin Soup – sweet, savory, and of course a little salty.

The sweet flavor comes from the maple syrup. When you are choosing your maple syrup, make sure to get the real, pure maple syrup, not the artificial kind. Pure maple syrup comes from the sugar sap found in a maple tree that is boiled and concentrated. And it is seriously delicious. Artificial maple syrup is a combination of high fructose corn syrup and carmel color. You can really taste the difference and the pure maple syrup is much healthier and tastier.

The savory flavor comes from a combination of cinnamon, all spice, and cloves. These delicious and healthy spices give the soup a true autumn flavor.

And finally, you always want to add a little salt to soup. It heightens the flavors and just makes the whole dish tastier. You’ll want to first add salt while it is cooking and you can always add more after, if you want, when it’s done.

So, let’s add the pure maple, cinnamon, all spice, cloves, and salt to the soup and let it all cook together. Let is simmer and become tastier and tastier by the minute.

Step 4: Add More Salt to Taste

This step is completely optional. When your soup is finished cooking, taste it and see if it needs any more salt. If it does, only add a little salt at a time. Once it’s perfect, you are ready to serve.

Step 5: Serve and top with pumpkin seeds

Now it’s time to serve and enjoy your soup. But there is one little final step before taking your first bite. Top each bowl with a few pumpkin seeds. This gives it a little extra pumpkin flavor and of course a little crunch of texture.

So, fill up a bowl, top it with pumpkin seeds, and enjoy!!

Can I roast the pumpkin seeds?

Absolutely! You can roast them in the oven at 425°F (230°C) for 5 minutes. And check on them to make sure that they don’t burn. If they need a little longer, you can always roast them for longer.

Whether you roast them or not, the seeds and the soup will be delicious.
