Carrot Pumpkin Soup
Hi Everyone, this Carrot Pumpkin Soup is savory, warm, soothing and perfect for Fall!
I have made several iterations of carrot soup over the years, including this Carrot Ginger Soup, and I just want to say that whatever iteration it is, it is ALWAYS a winner at the dinner table.
I was inspired to make this when I was developing several Fall-themed recipes over the past few months and my husband and I were just craving some carrot soup – well I had some extra pumpkin puree and the rest is history 🙂

Carrot Pumpkin Soup
This Carrot Pumpkin Soup is savory, warm, and soothing with Fall flavors. Try this healthy soup for dinner tonight! Vegan option.
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, You can substitute the same amount coconut oil or vegan butter
- 1 1/2 pounds carrots, peeled and sliced into about 1/2 inch-size pieces (about 6-7 large carrots)
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree, you can add more to taste
- 2 cups yellow onion, chopped, optional
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt, or amount to taste

- 2 cups water
- serve with fresh cracked black pepper to taste
- fresh Italian parsley, chopped, for garnish, optional

Instructions
- Melt the unsalted butter in a Dutch oven or large soup pot. When the butter is melted, add the chopped carrots and onions. Cook until tender, stirring occasionally, and add 1 teaspoon kosher salt when you start stirring. You do not let them brown. You want the onions to be softened which will take about 5-8 mins.
- Add 2 cups of chicken broth, 2 cups of water, and pumpkin puree to the mixture. Cook for 20 minutes at a simmer, until carrots are tender.
- You can blend in the pot carefully with an immersion blender or in batches in a regular blender. Blend to a purée to get a smooth texture. Add more kosher salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped Italian parsley, some sour cream/plain Greek yogurt (optional), and toasted French bread (optional).
Notes
You can adjust the consistency by adding more or less broth.
