Spiced Pumpkin, Carrot & Sweet Potato Soup

A sweetly spiced vibrant orange soup, perfect for those dark winter nights when you long for more daylight. It is Gluten Free, Vegetarian and can easily be Vegan, Paleo and Whole 30 friendly with a few tweaks.

My spiced pumpkin soup is inspired by the traditional dishes served at Thanksgiving that use sweet potatoes or pumpkin; its a vibrant uplifting orange, and flavoured with apple pie spices. The spices and a dab of vanilla combine wonderfully well with the silky, creamy flesh of the pumpkin and potatoes. Of course it is very adaptable; quantities are not exact – use whichever vegetables you have – and swap squash for the pumpkin

I first made my spiced pumpkin soup in a multicooker making use of its many functions to firstly fry, then to simmer the soup, then to either reheat or keep warm, freeing up space on the hob to cook the rest of a Thanksgiving meal – this would be delicious paired with my slow cooker cornbread.

Or, this recipe could equally well be made in my slow cooker, or if I’m in more of a hurry, in an Instant Pot electric pressure cooker, where it takes only minutes. To make this recipe quicker you can skip stage one of frying the onion and garlic and replace it with a few tablespoons of homemade Italian soffritto paste.
