Vegan Pumpkin Soup | 30 minute recipe is one of the many ways to make a pumpkin soup. And let me tell you, this soups takes 30 minutes given that the pumpkin is all cleaned and chopped!

I must confess how quickly does a pumpkin cook!! I mean, yes I cook Indian style curried pumpkin often and that too comes together in minutes but for a soup too, pumpkin just literally melts in the pot!! I have been making this Vegan Pumpkin Soup | 30 minute recipe for over 2-3 years and it still surprises me when it cooks so quickly! Once it has cooked well, all it needs is blending. Though you could use a hand blender, I prefer putting it in a large blender jar and giving it all a quick whiz. I steer clear of the hand blenders because I may or may not have had a real hand blender driven disaster in my kitchen!! Anyways, use whatever comes naturally to you.. 🙂
