Easy vegan pumpkin soup with butter beans is the out-of-this-world fall time soup that soothes the soul!  Flavored with cinnamon + nutmeg and slowly simmered to perfection.

I can’t wait for fall!

I can’t wait for when the weather is so cold, my teeth are chattering uncontrollably and I can’t feel my fingers!

I can’t wait for that biting cold that makes my face turn into a giant frozen ice cube!

In other words, I can’t wait for pumpkin soup season!

Soup has a way of soothing the soul! It warms you up from the inside and melts away all the cold weather blues!

Every soup season, I have made a soup that is warm and inviting!

Vegan pumpkin soup with butter beans is my favorite type of soup for the fall.  I have had creamy pumpkin soups and light pumpkin soups!

But, I have never had a creamy vegan pumpkin soup with butter beans!

I have no good explanation for why I haven’t had it before or made it for the blog.  Beans in vegan pumpkin soup always add a layer of texture and make the soup even more hearty.

I used butter beans because they are large and colorless.  Butter beans are perfect, not only in soup but also in curries. I made this creamy butter bean curry over the weekend and served it with basmati rice. Everyone was licking their plates!!

When I made my lima beans over polenta recipe, I did some research about both beans. Lima beans get their name from the capital of Peru where they are cultivated.  Butter beans and Lima beans are used interchangeably.  For me, the green version is the lima beans and the cream-colored ones are butter beans.

Lima beans always become the star of the recipe because of their heavy taste.  They have a “meaty” taste and so I like using them in curries and stews.

Butter beans are the perfect light beans and that’s why I like using them in soups.  Next time, I am going to make just a butter bean soup to see how it tastes

What is your favorite part of soup season?
