Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Soup with Spiced Savory Granola

592 Shares

Creamy Vegan Pumpkin Soup with Spiced Savory Granola. Warm, comforting with a crunchy savory granola topping, a real crowd pleaser for Thanksgiving and all winter long.

Isn’t fall just awesome? The slight chill in the air, the beautiful colors, the beginning of hockey season (oh, wait, scratch that), the feel of the holidays slowly approaching… I love it. I mean, what’s not to like, right?

And you know what else is awesome? Pumpkins.

Pumpkins are like the superhero of the veggie world. You can pretty much do anything with them: pick them, carve them, use them to decorate your front porch and of course, my favorite, eat them.

I don’t think there’s one single pumpkin dish I don’t like. Sweet, savory, you name it. If it looks, smells or tastes like pumpkin, I’m all over it.

So over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing some of our favorite recipes, but we wanna know… What’s YOUR favorite pumpkin dish and why?

I’ll start: I have to say… Naomi’s (Vicky’s mother in law) pumpkin pie. Because it was the very first one I ever tried and it brings back great memories of the first fall I ever spent here in the US. And Vicky’s pumpkin soup. Because it’s just awesome. As simple as that 🙂

Enjoy!
