Super Easy Roast Pumpkin Soup + Soup Freezing Tips

Category: Freezer Friendly • Recipes • Soup

Donna Hay’s Roasted Pumpkin Soup is THE most easiest pumpkin soup I have ever made.  Also helps that it is really delicious too!  If you haven’t made your own pumpkin soup before I really recommend you try this one!

I made a double batch so I could place left overs in the freezer.  I will show you below how I freeze soups.  Whilst I have a great collection of freezer containers, I find how I freeze my soups leaves a lot more room in the freezer. 

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Firstly, drizzle some oil and sprinkle salt over the pumpkins and onion.  Roast in oven

 Scoop pumpkin and onion from skin, add stock and then puree  in blender

 Add pumpkin mixture and remaining ingredients into saucepan, mix and heat through.  Serve with crusty bread.

Use a long container to place plastic zip lock bag, pour in left over soup.  Zip bag removing as much air as you can.  Lay flat in freezer.  

To reheat I place in microwave on medium high for a few minutes until I can pour into a microwave safe container, to then completely reheat.

    How did you know that I just this morning bought 11.5kg of pumpkin for $1.05 to make and freeze pumpkin soup for the winter?  Yep great deal at the local Fruit and Veg shop.  $0.09/kg!!!  Will it work for the other types of pumpkin?

      That’s an awesome deal!!

      I’ve made with another type and it worked out well.  I chopped it up more though as it was too big.

    Donna Hay’s roasted pumpkin is so good & what’s even better is the whole family loves it :)

    I freeze my soups this way too (Antartica tops are great for the initial freeze!!!) and most other of my freezer meals go in flat too. Then stored in a small SAMLA (Ikea) container in my freezer!
    (And I had the exact same food processor for years. Dont drop the motor part…it doesn’t like it!)

    I have a pumpkin soup recipe I just love. But it involves a LOT of chopping, which is bad for my arthritis, so I don’t make it nearly as often as we’d like.  I’m going to give this one a try! Thanks for posting it (and the freezing tips).

    Thanks for recommending Kat – I don’t even like pumpkin soup but this looked so easy I thought I’d try it. I also roasted half a bulb of garlic to go into it, and substituted extra stock for the cream to make it low fat, and it was delish! Husband, baby, and toddler all loved it. Is it possible to re-use the freezer bags? or do any of your readers have other suggestions? I’m trying to cut down on how much plastic we turf… Love your blog, thank you!
