This winter-warming grated carrot pumpkin soup tastes delicious with melted cheese and paprika and is SO easy to make with pumpkin puree.
We tucked into this delicious winter-warming cheesy pumpkin soup last week and shared leftovers with our narrowboat neighbors.
Speaking of which, when it comes to kitchen space on narrowboats, the clue is in the name! It's a small space, meaning every piece of cooking equipment needs to be carefully thought of.
Which is why - if you're in the same boat (sorry 😅), this is a fuss-free chunky soup that requires very little equipment. Just a couple of things to measure out food and a grater.

❓FAQ
What can I use instead of carrots? You could alternatively use diced or grated sweet potato or parsnip for a chunky, sweet taste. Or, if more accessible, potato will work too, but you may want to add another teaspoon of runny honey.
Could I make this a Slimming World carrot pumpkin soup? Easily! I recommend replacing the double cream and cheese for fat-free natural yogurt and cheeses.
What if I can't find canned pumpkin puree? Although easier to use, I actually slow cook a whole pumpkin within the skin cooker, then scoop out the puree. Note however: some say not to use carving pumpkins as there's less flavour and they're more watery. I'm here to say you can with this recipe!
