Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium red onion roughly chopped
- 1 medium pumpkin peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 medium red bell peppers sliced
- 1 .5 ounce can diced tomatoes in juice
- 3 ¼ cup vegetable or chicken stock
- 6 ounces almond milk unsweetened (or your preferred non dairy milk)
- ½ teaspoon vegetarian or chicken bullion
- Kosher salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a medium pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft.
- Add the pumpkin & red bell peppers. Sauté for 3 minutes.
- Add the can of tomatoes, milk, and vegetable or chicken stock.
- Cover the pot and simmer for 25 minutes.
- Uncover and let the vegetables cool for about 10 minutes.
- Add vegetables to a blender in two separate batches and pure until smooth. Or puree directly in the pot with an immersion blender.
- Return to the pot and season with kosher salt & black pepper. Heat soup again if needed.
Notes
- Buy pre-cut pumpkins for easy making.
- Stock Matters: Use good quality vegetable or chicken stock for depth of flavor. If you don't have this available, use water and add an extra bouillon cube.
- Taste and Adjust: Always taste before serving; adjust seasoning if needed.
- Garnish as You Like: Fresh herbs or a swirl of cream can add a nice touch. Sprinkle with toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds) or croutons.
