DeborahThis creamy pumpkin and sweet potato soup is the perfect bowl of comfort food that still feels light and nourishing. The natural sweetness of butternut squash and sweet potato creates a smooth, subtly sweet base, while the ginger adds just the right touch of warmth and spice, bringing extra depth to the flavor.
What I love about this soup is that it’s not only delicious, but also surprisingly satisfying. The combination of fiber-rich vegetables helps keep you feeling full and provides steady energy without making the soup feel heavy. This makes it perfect for a light lunch or a nourishing dinner on a busy day.
The soup is blended until completely smooth and creamy, without the need for any cream. A drizzle of olive oil adds a soft, rounded flavor while allowing the simple, wholesome ingredients to shine.
It’s one of those recipes that’s incredibly easy to make, yet still feels warm and special. Comfort in a bowl, with a beautiful balance of sweetness, creaminess, and a gentle kick of ginger.

Equipment
Method
- Cut the butternut squash and sweet potato into small cubes. Add them to the pot and sauté for a few minutes to bring out their flavor.
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
- Grate about 1 cm of fresh ginger and add it to the pot. Stir well for a moment to release the aroma.
- Next, add the water and bouillon cube and bring everything to a boil. Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer gently for about 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are completely tender.
- Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Add a little extra water if you prefer a thinner consistency, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
