I really felt today eating something orange or red. I needed pumpkin, autumn food, and something what warms me up. It is just so cold, soups are lifesavers for me this time. I had a small pumpkin and a few bell peppers in my fridge so they seemed to be the perfect combination.
And yes, they are so tasty together! This soup is extra creamy, so flavorful and has the loveliest color ever. The roasted sweet pumpkin and bell pepper with the spicy chili are so amazing! Just the thought of this food made me happy.
I enjoy roasted vegetable soups so much, I just cut the veggies, put them in the oven, then blend them with everything I fancy together and that’s it. Lovely, rich dinner! Yumm!

Yum! Looks like the perfect warming winter soup. I happen to have some pumpkin and peppers kicking around as well, so looks like I’ll be making this soon. Thanks for the recipe!
It is really so warming. I love pumpkin soups, perfect autumn-winter food 🙂
This pumpkin soup looks incredibly delicious and definitely creamy. Loving the vibrant colour of it especially!
Thank you!
The soup looks simply delish! Perfect for the winter chill!
Thank you!
Haha, I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who sometimes crave food because of the colour. I often really need something green 😉
Looks so delicious!
Oh yes, green cravings! That happens with me the most often 😀
I saw this over on Food Gawker and had to stop by! This soup looks absolutely delicious, and I love that you used bell pepper to shake things up! Yum!
Thank you 🙂
I am so thrilled with this recipe – looks scrumptious and easy to do. Loving this! Will give this a go this weekend!
Thanks, Laura Anna!
Let me know how you liked it 🙂
It was amazing! So beautiful and so incredibly yummy! (I made it just as you said. Next time, however, I think I will leave the rosemary out.) I made a double batch and ate it in two days.
Thanks a lot for the feedback, I am so happy you enjoyed it!
Just thought you’d like to know that this soup has become a part of my regular line up. I’ve even made it for neighbors and they’ve loved it:)
Oh, wow, I am so happy to hear that ♥︎
Love that gorgeous autumn colour! I’ve never heard of pumpkin seed oil, will have to look out for that one.
The pumpkin seed oil is one of the healthy oils, contains a lots of magnesium, vitamin A and E, which help to have a healthy skin, it also helps lower the cholesterol levels and it tastes so good! Sometimes I just dip a slice of bread in a bit of pumpkin seed oil, so good. And my absolutely favorite is pumpkin seed oil as a salad dressing for cabbage, you have to try it 🙂
omg, i am so happy i tried it out! tastes so delicious
Thank you, Sarah! 🙂
