Canadian Thanksgiving has come and gone, but for my American readers, you can enjoy this roasted apple pumpkin soup with potatoes as a side dish or appetizer this holiday season! Enjoy this healthy, vegan, and gluten-free recipe as I continue my brand ambassadorship with The Little Potato Company!

Pumpkin season is here (or maybe it is going out and I am late to the party?) No big deal as we are not huge pumpkin lovers here, but today's roasted apple pumpkin soup with potatoes is something magical! It is a recipe that my husband ate with no complaints, and he cannot stand the smell of pumpkin! We have a winner here 🙂
I was inspired by the curried apple pumpkin soup I had during a farm tour recently. It was soooo good and I knew my husband would love it, even if pumpkin isn't his thing. While the other soup was darker in flavors, this one definitely had its own punch, creating a mellow, but wholesome meal that is completely vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free! Healthy during Thanksgiving?! I might be crazy 😉
Of course, working with The Little Potato Company again, I wanted something that showcased their product. I stuck with Blushing Belle not only for flavor, but because I knew the colors would pair perfectly with the soup. Don't get me wrong, any other varietal would work, but look at how pretty roasted Blushing Belle look! So hard to choose a favorite 🙂
Getting down to business, I made another tutorial video. Still working on getting a system down, but this was my first time using my new induction stove (happy birthday to me!) Let's just saw, wow! Cooks super fast and almost makes me feel like I have a gas stove... Almost. To save time with this recipe, I suggest roasting everything at the same time like I did. I removed the apples after 15 minutes of baking since they cook the fastest, but the potatoes and pumpkin need the full 30 minutes. If oven room is sparse, feel free to roast the potatoes while you simmer the pumpkin and apples 🙂
📖 Recipe
Roasted Apple Pumpkin Soup with Potatoes
A wholesome, delicious Thanksgiving soup that is completely vegan and gluten-free!
Ingredients
- 1.5 lb bag of Little Potato Company's Blushing Belle Creamer Potatoes
- 1 (2 lbs) pie pumpkin
- ½ lb apples (Cortland, Crispin, Empire, etc.)
- Coconut oil for greasing
- 2 tbsp. olive oil, divided
- 1 tsp. curry powder
- 4 cups water
- Salt and pepper
- Chives, green onion, and/or cream for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liner for easy clean up.
- Add pumpkin and whole apples to one sheet. Grease with coconut oil. Slice potatoes in half and add to other baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tbsp. olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Place pans into oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove apples and toss potatoes. Cook pumpkin and potatoes for another 15 minutes, or until potatoes are golden and pumpkin can easily be pierced with a knife.
- Peel apple and pumpkin skins. Slice all, making sure to remove seeds, stringy parts, and cores.
Soup
- Add remaining olive oil to a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in curry powder and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute. Add apples, and toss. Stir in pumpkin chunks, salt, and pepper. Add water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and puree until smooth.
- Add potatoes to a bowl. Pour soup around potatoes and garnish if desired.
Notes
My pumpkin yielded about 2 ½ cups of tightly packed pumpkin but the amount should not make too much of a difference.

And there we have it! An easy, healthy roasted apple pumpkin soup with potatoes recipe! I just love the presentation here. You want to see all those pretty potatoes, and having the soup surround them just brings out their colors and texture more. Mr. TCW prefers soups with textures, so while I pureed the apples and pumpkin, I wanted to keep textural elements with the potatoes (probably why he loved the soup so much!)

I would *almost* bypass the turkey and just have this soup...Just sayin'
Kacey
Thank you! I mean, it is really hard to resist turkey 🙂
Laurel
Kacey! LOVE how you added crispy potatoes to this soup! I bet that adds an AMAZING texture and makes it extra filling. I would TOTALLY pass the turkey for this soup 😉
Kacey
Thank you!! My husband always complains that soup is never filling enough (but he loves the stuff) so I thought I would add in some carbs 🙂
