Ingredients needed to make this Dairy-Free Pumpkin Sweet Potato Soup:
- olive oil
- onion
- garlic
- sweet potato
- bone broth
- pumpkin puree
- coconut cream
- olive oil
- rubbed sage
- ground ginger
- cinnamon

To me, the spices make this soup. There’s got to be a good balance of spices to really enhance the pumpkin and sweet potato flavors, and I found that the best spices to use are nutmeg, cinnamon, sage, and ginger.
Oh and salt and pepper!
How to make this Paleo pumpkin soup:
This Dairy-Free Pumpkin Sweet Potato Soup is simple and easy to make. Which is awesome if you are like me and don’t have a lot of time. From start to finish, this soup shouldn’t take you more than 35 minutes!
All you have to do is cook some onions and garlic. Then add diced sweet potatoes and bone broth to the pan and boil the sweet potatoes in the bone broth until they are tender. Which takes about 15 minutes.
Then, you can either use an immersion or a regular blender and you mix everything together until a soup forms.
After that, you put the sweet potato soup back into to the soup pan ( if you used a blender ) or leave it in the soup pan if you used an immersion blender.
The next step is to add a can of pumpkin puree and a can of coconut cream to the soup. Using coconut cream is the key to making a pumpkin soup without cream.
Note: use a coconut cream with only coconut and water in the ingredient list! Preservatives tend to change the flavor and make it less creamy. I highly recommend Savoy Coconut Cream.
Once you have mixed the pumpkin puree and coconut cream into the sweet potato soup, the last step is to add your spices.
I highly recommend adding the spices a little bit at a time and taste testing the soup to really make it to your liking.
For me, it is a balance between the nutmeg, cinnamon, sage, ginger, salt and pepper, that really makes the soup that much more spectacular.
I have a feeling I’m going to be making this whole30 pumpkin recipe all Fall and Winter long.
Also, I highly recommend adding pumpkin seeds and fresh parsley on top of your soup.
And if you are feeling fancy, definitely add crackers to this soup, like these Paleo “Everything” Almond Crackers.
Isn’t it amazing that you can have a creamy pumpkin sweet potato soup AND crackers and everything it’s all gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo, and grain-free.

Pumpkin soup is new to me, but we make a lot of butternut squash soup so it must be pretty similar! Love the idea for adding coconut cream to add a little more richness and that natural coconut flavor.
