pantry pumpkin bisque

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!
