6-ingredient pumpkin soup with sage and maple syrup (vegan)

My perfect autumn day includes cuddly socks, a walk by the water with friends and afterwards a delicious pumpkin soup to warm us all up again. As I have been following the same pumpkin soup recipe for the past years, I wanted to try something new this year..

Important for me (as always) was the simplicity and feasibility. Therefore I deliberately limited myself to six ingredients. Although the soup gets by with only a few ingredients, it doesn't taste boring, I promise! The autumnally sweet taste is created by the combination of butternut pumpkin and maple syrup (just BOMBE!); sage gives it a pleasant fresh note.

The only hurdle of this recipe is the time required, but this is probably the case with almost every hearty pumpkin dish, as the pumpkin must first be cooked in the oven until it is soft. Once that's done, the rest is a piece of cake (that's why I love soups: Just put it in the pot, puree it and "Tadaa!" you have created a nutritious, warm and soothing food)

The dish is topped at the end with roasted pumpkin seeds and sage leaves, which round off the soup and give it an aromatic crunch

This sweet and sour pumpkin soup is suitable as an appetizer or main course and is a real taste experience despite its few ingredients. Butternut pumpkin and maple syrup are complemented by onion and garlic. Fresh sage leaves complete the soup by giving it a spicy freshness

Let's cook!
