Pumpkin Beer Cheese Soup with Rosemary Croutons

October 14, 2021 By Ashley 1 Comment

Meet pumpkin soup 2.0 – Pumpkin Beer Cheese Soup with Rosemary Croutons. Crisp ale and herby croutons add depth to this dish, while the pumpkin puree gives it that classic pumpkin soup vibe. Even if you’re totally over pumpkin recipes, I have a feeling this is going to be your new favorite soup this winter season!

creamy, cheesy, pumpkin-y comfort in a bowl

A few weeks ago, I asked ya’ll on Instagram what recipes you wanted to see on the blog this Fall, and an overwhelming amount of you replied with “unique soup” and “unique pumpkin” recipes. Fast forward to now, and I think I’ve delivered just that. My Pumpkin Beer Cheese Soup with Rosemary Croutons is unlike any other recipe I’ve seen out there. Sure, it’s got the classic fall flavors with pumpkin puree, rosemary, and nutmeg … but it’s elevated with amber ale, cheesy cheddar-style shreds, and crispy croutons because we love thick ‘n’ creamy soups with a little bit of ✨texture✨

So grab a beer and let’s get to making the best Pumpkin Beer Cheese Soup with Rosemary Croutons!

Vegan Muffaletta Panzanella Salad! A combination of two classics, married into one delicious summer dish. Briny and soaked with flavor, this New Orleans inspired Panzanella Salad is simple, yet rich and full-bodied, making for a salad you will truly never forget!

when two become one

If you’ve been making my recipes and following my blog for awhile now, then it comes as no surprise that I love to combine classic dishes into fun, new recipes (take my vegan buffalo chick’n pasta salad or French onion mashed potatoes, for example). Having lived in Louisiana for a portion of my adolescence, and going back often to visit my family, New Orleans and their beloved Muffaletta sandwich has always been near and dear to my heart. Many will say their favorite part of a muffuletta sandwich is the olive salad, or the varieties of meats and cheeses stuffed inside, but my favorite part has always been the bread 🤌🏽 And that’s how I cam up with this salad. It’s basically a Muffaletta sandwich, deconstructed. It’s briny, and rich, and savory. But the best part? The delicious rustic bread to soak up all those flavors!
