This simple pumpkin soup recipe will warm your heart on a fall day! It is quick enough to make for an evening meal and rich enough for the holiday table. My easy healthy Pumpkin Soup uses greek yogurt to bring rich flavor and protein to savory bowl of goodness.
I'm not the first or the last person on the "I love pumpkin" bandwagon.
But this soup is different.
Example A: It's rich and decadent but secretly healthy.
Example B: It's brimming with spices.
Example C: It's vegetarian pumpkin soup . No chicken stock here!
Example D: And the creaminess comes from protein packed Greek Yogurt.
(I could go on, but I'll stop there)
So no, it's not exactly like every other recipe you'll see out there.
This simple pumpkin soup recipe is better, if I do say so myself.
Easy healthy pumpkin soup.
Try it for dinner tonight.
I promise you just may like it enough to add it to your Thanksgiving menu.
Pumpkin mania satisfaction.
Guaranteed.

I am sort of on it. I buy a few things pumpkin, but I actually can't wait for peppermint flavored everything!

Annette says
I made this soup today, it is delicious. I have been looking for a good pumpkin soup for a long time. This has just the right amount of seasoning and no heavy cream.

Sara @ Lake Shore Runner says
This sounds awesome! I have been enjoying Pumpkin Soup from TJ's but wish it was a little thicker. I think adding the greek yogurt would do that. I am gonna ditch the store bought soup and make it from scratch next time 🙂
Sarah says

I like the addition of the maple syrup in there. I am trying this for sure

The maple syrup and ginger really bring out tons of flavor!
Andrea B (@goodgirlgonered) says
This looks amazing. I love pumpkin soup but I've never actually made it - I just tend to pin loads of recipes on how to. Maybe now I can try!?
Stacie @ SimplySouthernStacie says
This looks just like Panera's butternut squash so which I love! Therefore, I'm thinking this would be a hit for me : )
JulieWunder says
There soup is so good too! I have a butternut squash in my fridge just waiting to get turned into soup............. (hopefully it will happen tomorrow...)
Cindy says
Sounds wonderful! If I reduced the amount of maple syrup, do you think it would still be tasty? My husband is diabetic so I have to be careful with sweeteners.
JulieWunder says
I didn't test it with less, but I'm sure it will be fine. Can he have stevia?
jill conyers says
I love pumpkin soup but never thought to make it with greek yogurt. I'll have to try it.
JulieWunder says
It makes it really creamy without adding the cream 🙂
