Roasted Vegetable Soup is full of amazing flavors including nutmeg, cumin and cinnamon. The roasted vegetables add a natural sweetness and depth of flavor to the soup that makes it the perfect fall meal.
Be sure and check out some of our other favorite fall soups including this Instant Pot Tomato Soup, Curried Butternut Squash Soup and this amazing Pasta e Fagioli.
Today’s recipe for Roasted Vegetable Soup is a new savory favorite. The combination of pumpkin with roasted vegetables makes a rich and flavorful soup. Roasting the vegetables gives them a sweetness and depth of flavor that takes the soup to a new level.
How to Roast Vegetables
This is the key to this soup so don’t skip this part.
- Cut your onions, peppers, carrots and potatoes up into large pieces.
- Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt.
- Roast in a 425 degrees F oven for about 45 minutes or until vegetables are soft and slightly charred.
How to Make Roasted Vegetable Soup
- Place the roasted vegetables and chicken broth into a blender and puree it up!
- Add in the canned pumpkin. Be sure and use pumpkin puree, not pumpkin pie filling. They are usually next to each other on the shelf.
- Blend to desired smoothness.
- Place soup in a pan on the stove and add in cream and spices.
Dairy Free Vegetable Soup
If you want to make the soup dairy free, use coconut milk instead of half and half. The milk gives the soup a nice creamy texture but could also be left out all together.
What is Half and Half?
I have discovered that half and half is an American thing. If you are unable to find half and half in your grocery store, use a 1:1 ratio of milk and whipping cream instead.
What to Put On Vegetable Soup
I like to garnish the soup with some chopped parsley and chopped pecans. Pumpkin seeds are also a nice addition. I love the crunch nuts or seeds give to soup. You could also add a dollop of sour cream if you like.
Add this Vegetable Pumpkin Soup to your fall menu planning and it will quickly become a family favorite. It also freezes well and can be made ahead of time for a quick and easy dinner.

This is going to be Wynn’s new favorite soup, I know it!
Leigh Anne says
Let me know what he thinks. We really liked it and I never use to like pumpkin!!!
Maysem says
Oh.. one question. Does it matter what kind of potato? I have red potatoes on hand.. are those ok?
Leigh Anne says
I used a russet but I would think red would work fine too.
Maysem says
This sounds so good! I’ve been looking for a good pumpkin soup recipe and have not been impressed with any of them.. but yours sounds like a winner!! Can’t wait to try it!! Pinning it too:D
Kris Wolverton says
I’m going to make this! But I don’t eat dairy so I’ll need to substitute the cream for almond or rice milk.
Leigh Anne says
Kris, You could even just leave out the dairy. It just makes it a bit creamier but it was delicious before I put it in too!
