Incredibly Creamy Texture

This vegan pumpkin soup recipe calls for not only fresh pumpkin, but a crunchy crumb topping too! Both of which add an insane amount of feel-good texture and deliciousness. The coconut milk gives it a full-bodied taste, without weighing it down so much it feels, heavy. This bisque is quite literally, well perfect!

Nutmeg For The Win

If there was ever a bisque to sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg on, this is it! Skip it if you will, but we loved how just a teensy, tiny pinch made all the difference. I think you’re gonna love it too! Oh, and try to reserve a bit of the coconut milk to drizzle on top of the bisque before serving. It’s sure to impress!

The Spicy-ness is Real

Yep, you read that right. It’s a bit spicy! If you’re into a kick, you’re gonna love how the cayenne pepper brings this bisque up a notch. If you don’t love all things spicy, well … you can just omit the cayenne (we won’t judge). 😉

Ingredients

Autumn Bisque

  • 1 sugar pie pumpkin (approximately 3lbs)
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 apple (we used Granny Smith)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 1/2 c coconut milk (canned)
  • 1 c ice water
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • pinch nutmeg

Toasted Pecan Crumb Topping

  • 1 c toasted pecans
  • 1/3 c old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp maple flavored cashew butter
  • 2 tbsp organic brown sugar
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

Instructions

Autumn Bisque

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Line a large baking pan with parchment paper.

  2. Carefully wash and slice the pumpkin lengthwise. Remove all seeds and slice into thirds. Place skin-side-up on the baking sheet.

  3. Carefully remove the skins of the onion and garlic and slice the ends off. Slice in half and place on the baking sheet.

  4. Wash and quarter the apple, placing skin-side-up on the baking sheet alongside the onions and pumpkin. 

  5. Roast for 35 minutes, or until the pumpkin is fork-tender. Remove from the oven to a wire rack and allow to cool for 5 minutes.

  6. Carefully remove the pumpkin skins and discard. Transfer the pumpkin to a food processor and add the roasted apple quarters and onion. 

  7. Slowly add the coconut milk, ice water, apple cider vinegar, freshly grated ginger, sea salt, cinnamon, cayenne pepper and freshly ground black pepper and blend on low until creamy and smooth (approximately 1-2 minutes).

  8. Carefully pour into a stock pot and bring to a simmer.

  9. Using a ladle, transfer to serving bowls and garnish with a pinch of nutmeg and additional freshly ground black pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the Toasted Pecan Crumb Topping and drizzle with any remaining coconut milk and enjoy! 

Toasted Pecan Crumb Topping

  1. While the vegetables are roasting, toast the pecans over medium-low heat in a medium sized skillet.

  2. Once toasted, add the pecans to a food processor and chop until coarse. 

  3. Add the old-fashioned rolled oats and blend once again until crumbly. 

  4. Add the cashew butter, organic brown sugar and sea salt and blend again until the mixture resembles fine crumbles. 

  5. Transfer to a small serving bowl and set aside.
