This Pantry Pumpkin Bisque is made with ingredients you probably have in your pantry! It’s Paleo and Whole30 compliant, gluten-free, and easily adapted to be vegan.
This recipe was originally published in 2011. I’ve updated the photos and wanted to share it with you again. I think you’re going to love this oldie but goodie! Okay, let’s go back to early 2011 when Meghan was just two years old and Luke wasn’t even born yet.
Yes, I realize it’s winter. I do know that the more appropriate month to feature a pumpkin soup recipe would be October, or maybe even November. By winter, pumpkin is far from everyone’s mind and not a regular craving like those crisp fall months. But sometimes by the end of the week your produce drawer looks like this:
With dinner options limited, I turned to my pantry. Thank goodness I keep it well-stocked. It doesn’t matter what month it is when you’re hungry, and besides, pumpkin always tastes good. Which would explain why I keep it stocked through the winter. If you don’t keep it as a staple in your pantry, you should.
This creamy bisque doesn’t feel like a we-need-to-go-grocery shopping type of meal. It certainly doesn’t feel like a meal that can be ready in about 20 minutes. So if you’re looking for a satisfying lunch or dinner and your produce drawer is waning like mine, check out your pantry. Here’s what you need:
You can easily make this vegan by swapping out the chicken broth and using vegetable stock. I’ve done that many times. And, of course, the spiiiiiiiices:The spices give this a lovely savory flavor. Even though I use coconut milk to give this a creamy texture, you don’t really taste it much. And it’s totally dairy-free. Need a pantry dinner? Give this one a try!
