(A comforting fall classic with rich flavor and creamy texture)

🕒 Prep Time: 10 mins
🍳 Cook Time: 40 mins
🍲 Total Time: 50 mins
👩‍🍳 Servings: 4

🥕 Ingredients

  • 🍚 1 cup wild rice, uncooked
  • 🧅 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 🧄 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 🥕 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 🌿 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 🥣 1 can (15 oz) pumpkin puree
  • 🥛 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 🧈 1 tbsp olive oil or vegan butter
  • 🌱 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 🌿 1 tsp sage
  • 🧂 Salt & pepper, to taste
  • 🥥 1 cup coconut milk (or any plant-based milk)
  • 🌰 Optional topping: toasted pumpkin seeds, parsley

🍲 Instructions

Step 1: Sauté the Aromatics

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Add Pumpkin & Spices

Stir in the pumpkin puree, thyme, sage, salt, and pepper. Let everything cook together for a couple of minutes so the flavors blend beautifully.

Step 3: Add Rice & Broth

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the uncooked wild rice. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for 35–40 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

Step 4: Make It Creamy

Stir in coconut milk for that rich, velvety texture. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy

Ladle the soup into bowls, top with toasted pumpkin seeds or parsley, and enjoy the warmth of fall in every spoonful. 🍂

💡 Tips for the Perfect Vegan Pumpkin Soup

  • Use fresh pumpkin puree if you want a deeper flavor — roast and blend your pumpkin beforehand.
  • Want extra protein? Add chickpeas or lentils.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days — it actually tastes better the next day!
