Ingredients Breakdown

You will need these wholesome ingredients.

Cannellini beans — I used beans from a can. It was convenient. Feel free to use the beans that you’ve cooked yourself. Also, you may swap for chickpeas.

Pumpkin puree — do not use pumpkin puree that contains spices. You need plain for this recipe.

Onion and ginger — will be the two fresh spices going into this soup.

Spices — and lots of it. There’s garlic powder, onion powder, curry powder, allspice, cinnamon, and of course, salt and pepper. The spices will be the key component of this dish. Do not swap or skip a spice!

Coconut milk — will add creamy velvetiness.

Low-sodium vegetable broth — will add more flavor. If you are looking for something light, swap for water.

Olive oil — will be used to sauté the onions and ginger. I bet coconut oil would also work. If you try that, let me know in the comments!

Fresh spinach — I like to add in some greens as much as I can. You can swap for tender Tuscan kale or simply omit this ingredient altogether.

You are going to love this fall-inspired soup!

Recipe Instructions

  1. First, saute the olive oil, onions, and ginger. Then add the spices and salt and cook for another minute. 
  2. Next, add in the pumpkin puree, beans, vegetable broth, and maple syrup, and stir. Cook the soup for thirty minutes. 
  3. Finally, season the soup as needed. Stir in the light coconut milk and spinach before serving. 

Recipe Variations

  • Instead of baby spinach you can use kale or Swiss chard.
  • Instead of Cannellini beans you can use garbanzo beans, navy beans, or butter beans.

Storage Tips

SERVE: You can keep the soup out for about two hours before it needs to be covered and stored in the refrigerator.

STORE: Once cooled, place the soup in a covered container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

FREEZE: You can freeze the soup, just don’t add spinach to it. Once the soup is cooled, transfer the soup to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for 1-2 months.

DEFROST: Defrost overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for 3-5 hours.

REHEAT: Place the soup in a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until heated through. Add spinach, stir, and serve.

Recipe FAQ’s

Is pumpkin puree the same as pumpkin soup?

Generally, pumpkin puree is labeled 100% pumpkin. Some may contain spices like cinnamon, allspice, and ginger.

Furthermore, the spiced versions are made to be used for pumpkin pies. With that being said, the unseasoned version can be used for anything and it is not a soup, it’s a stand-alone ingredient.

Are cannellini beans white kidney beans?

Yes, cannellini beans are white kidney beans. They are a fantastic addition to many different soups.

    I feel like I am drooling over your pictures of this soup, it looks so delicious with all the spices you added. I would have never thought to add beans to a pumpkin soup, but I gotta try this.

    Pinned! I’m so excited to try this, I love how it has lots of nutrients. Usually pumpkin soup is heavy on the carbs but I love how it has the fats from the coconut milk and protein from the beans. And I loveee cannellini beans. Can’t wait!
