Why do I love autumn? Maybe it\u2019s because of those chilly evenings spent under a blanket with a good book, or with a bowl of hot, comforting soup. Speaking of which, here is one of my favorite fall recipes \u2013 butternut squash soup made with warming ginger, black pepper, and a pinch of chili. Perfectly creamy, super flavorful, and completely vegan! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think we can officially consider pumpkin season open! Which makes me super happy. I love pumpkin, mostly because it\u2019s such a versatile ingredient. It works so well in cakes, desserts, soups, salads, casseroles, stuffed dishes, and so much more. The possibilities here are endless! During the season, it\u2019s practically everywhere in all kinds of varieties, sizes, colors, and shapes. How could you not love it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a simple, classic version of pumpkin soup made with just a few easy-to-find ingredients. It's about as straightforward as it gets, but that doesn't mean it isn't delicious. The addition of ginger, chili, and black pepper gives the soup a lovely warming kick without being overly spicy. If you love spicy food, feel free to add more chili! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which pumpkin is best for cream of pumpkin soup?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can make this soup with any edible pumpkin variety, but this time I used butternut squash. Depending on the type of pumpkin you use, you may need to adjust the soup's consistency by adding a little more or less broth.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I need to peel the pumpkin? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don't need to peel Hokkaido pumpkins, their skin softens when roasted or boiled, blending perfectly. All other varieties (butternut squash, common pumpkin) should be peeled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cream of pumpkin soup \u2013 what to serve it with?\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ginger pumpkin soup loves a little crunch, which is why I recommend serving it with pumpkin seeds, bread croutons, or crackers. Pick your favorite crispy topping, but don't skip it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From time to time, I serve this pumpkin soup topped with crumbled feta cheese or creamy goat cheese, but of course, it\u2019s a non-vegan option.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
