The ginger is a fantastic anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant rich super spice that helps fight the flu and the common cold.
The broth base supports immune function. It’s also full of gut building collagen and glycine.
Making bone broth is a family tradition I learned from my Bubby. But, broth has been used for millennia due to its numerous health benefits.

Types of Pumpkins for Dairy Free Pumpkin Bisque
Did you know that pumpkins are a type of winter squash?
While I love using carnival pumpkin, kabocha pumpkin, and pie pumpkin for this recipe, I have also made it with other types of winter squash like butternut and delicata, and it is just as good.
Gluten Free Soup
I’m super passionate about creating gluten free recipes that everyone will love. That’s not always easy when it comes to finding celiac safe soups.
Unfortunately, eating soup in a restaurant can be a game of roulette when it comes to hidden ingredients. Many soups contain gluten in the form of thickeners and such, so I like to make mine at home.
I love a thick creamy soup that’s dairy free, and this Dairy Free Pumpkin Bisque recipe fits that bill perfectly.
Good Soup: What is a Bisque?
Traditionally, bisque is made with heavy cream.
Creating recipes that are gluten free and dairy free is a passion of mine! Using coconut milk instead of the heavy cream traditionally found in a bisque allows this low carb soup to be enjoyed by individuals with multiple diet restrictions.
That makes me a happy camper!
Pumpkin: Fiber Rich Food
Pumpkin is a fiber rich food and the mouthwatering potassium infused star of this gluten free soup.
Adding fiber and potassium to your diet assists with a balanced digestive system and the regulation of blood sugars.
Simple Recipe for Soup
Thankfully, there’s not much planning required for this healthy and simple recipe. Dairy Free Pumpkin Bisque is made with 7 super healthy ingredients. All you need to make it is pumpkin, bone broth, coconut milk, ginger, lemon, salt, and if you like, stevia.
During the colder months, I usually have a jar of roasted pumpkin in the fridge or freezer. And I keep homemade broth on hand year round.
Best Bone Broth Shortcut
If you’re not a fan of making bone broth, you can use Kettle & Fire Bone Broth as a shortcut.

What a gorgeous photo! Your soup looks so appealing. I can’t resist anything pumpkin. I’ve never heard of that stevia before, but it’s nice the recipe needs such a small amount.

I would love it of you could hot link back to any description you may have already provided about how to roast pumpkins, as well as any thoughts about whether or not it might work or not, to substitute pumpkin in another form.
I run a food pantry & we have lots of canned pumpkin & if is adaptable it would be an AMAZING option….
Elana says
Angel, if you click the words “roasted pumpkin” in the ingredients portion of the recipe you will be given that info :-)

Mmmm even the name of this soup sounds comforting! You have a cold frame!? That is so cool! I have been researching these because I’d like to build one. If it interests you- I would LOVE a post on how-to build/tips on a cold frame! It just makes so much sense to have one. Hope we aren’t too late to get started. xoxo

I was making your Pumpkin Custard the other day and decided to make it into a cold (well, room temperature) soup. I thinned it out a bit and it was fantastic.
This soup looks like it will hit the spot. The weather has turned cold up here in Ottawa, ON and the combination of pumpkin and ginger should provide the warmth I’m carving.
Julia says
This sounds great! My youngest daughter is 11 months now, so I have been trying to make more food that the whole family can eat. I think we are going to love this.
Alta says
I’ve made a pumpkin soup with coconut milk (and Thai curry paste!) before as well! I love the combo (well, I love anything with coconut milk, so…). That pumpkin is cool-looking, I haven’t happened across one like it. I’m all about soup this time of year as well, I’ve been a soup-making machine!
christie, honoring health says
That sounds delicious. I made a similar butternut squash soup last week and didn’t think to add coconut milk. Great idea!
Karina says
Yes, I love the pairing of pumpkin and coconut milk. Soft, subtle, lovely. Send some over, please!
VeggieGirl says
What a lovely flavor-pairing! Love the spice.
Lauren says
Sounds good to me! I love soup this time of year – its the perfect meal.
