The name of this soup might be confusing, so let’s clear that up right off the bat - this soup does not actually contain oranges. Only orange-colored vegetables. Now that that’s squared away, this orange vegetable soup has a rich flavor and gives off that homey feeling after eating, which is perfect as the weather starts to cool down. I even serve this soup in the Sukkah as it fits the season perfectly!
As mentioned, this soup is made out of orange-colored vegetables, including pumpkin, sweet potatoes, carrots, onion, and one regular potato too. After cooking the soup, you then blend it with a handheld blender to a smooth texture. A simple and easy process! To make the vegetables cook faster, I cut everything into small cubes.
In this recipe, you don’t need to make a puree of the pumpkin before cooking the soup, instead, all of the vegetables are cooked together and then mashed to a unified puree stew soup.
To add more flavor to the orange vegetable soup, I used garlic, turmeric, dry thyme, and of course, salt and pepper. These spices fit well with the pumpkin and sweet potatoes and create a rich, savory soup.
I only bought a piece of pumpkin and used all of it for the soup, if you have a whole pumpkin then just use 1/4 to 1/2. If it’s a small pumpkin, you can use it all. If you have leftovers then check out some other pumpkin recipes I created.
Another great thing about this soup is that it works really great as baby food! I gave some to my daughter and she loved eating it. Just be sure to check that it’s completely smooth before serving to a baby or toddler.
For garnish, I added some pumpkin seeds as it adds more texture and crunch. Of course, avoid the garnish when serving to a baby or even if you don’t want to garnish. You can also garnish with other types of seeds too or with fresh green herbs.
