Garu Seonsaeng Sweet Pumpkin Soy Cream Soup

A flavor that reminds me of restaurant pumpkin cream soup
I remember really enjoying the pumpkin cream soup that would sometimes come out at restaurants, and Garu Seonsaeng Sweet Pumpkin Soy Cream Soup is exactly the flavor I’d been looking for! Isn’t it~~

Compared with instant powdered soups sold in stores, Garu Seonsaeng Sweet Pumpkin Soy Cream Soup is made with Korean sweet pumpkin and Korean soybeans, so it is mild and clean-tasting rather than overpowering.


It is a healthy, convenient food based on 100% plant protein made with whole natural ingredients rather than synthetic additives. They say they make it in small batches and send out freshly made products.


Checking the ingredients first
When I look into health foods, I always end up checking the ingredient list first.
Garu Seonsaeng Sweet Pumpkin Soy Cream Soup ingredients
- Soybeans
- Sweet pumpkin
- Unrefined raw sugar
- Sea salt
- Oats
- Almonds
Such a clean ingredient list, with only six natural ingredients shown. They say it was newly reformulated by adding oats and almonds to the original soy cream blend of soybeans, sweet pumpkin, unrefined raw sugar, and sea salt. Garu Seonsaeng Sweet Pumpkin Soy Cream Soup is made with trustworthy, 100% Korean soybeans and sweet pumpkin. 👍 It uses sweet pumpkin grown in the clean Gohung area and kissed by sea breezes, so its deep flavor and freshness come through beautifully.

How to mix it with water and adjust the thickness
I tore open the top of the package and scooped out a spoonful with the spoon that arrived with it. The powder has tiny, soft particles. Since Garu Seonsaeng Sweet Pumpkin Soy Cream Soup comes in powder form, you can use it in lots of recipes, but I first tried it in its most basic soup form with warm water.


You can adjust the amount of water to make it thick or thin, however you like.
Add about 2–3 included scoops to one glass of water (150–180 ml), and you have a rich, fresh cup.
I think mixing it with milk, soy milk, or oat milk instead of hot water would make it even more flavorful. It dissolves easily in cold water too! Just stir it a few times for about one minute and it’s done. It would be so delicious with croutons or toasted bread on the way to work.


How it tasted warm and iced
Its optimal blend of soybeans, oats, and almonds creates a plant-based cream base that leaves only a nutty, smooth taste without being heavy. Garu Seonsaeng Sweet Pumpkin Soy Cream Soup is so good and easy on the stomach as a breakfast substitute. It seems especially handy for a quick bite in the morning when taking medicine or supplements.

I also had a cup as an iced version with ice added. It was nutty and sweet.

Recipes beyond soup
Because it is a fine powder, it is very versatile in recipes. It works well for sweet pumpkin spread, sweet pumpkin shot lattes, sweet pumpkin milk, and sauces for pasta, risotto, and gnocchi. Anyone ages 1 and up can have it, so I think kids would enjoy it too.

Garu Seonsaeng Sweet Pumpkin Soy Cream Soup contains about 9.2 g of protein per serving. You can get even the protein that is usually hard to make time for!! It is even better because you can enjoy healthy plant protein without lactose or milk fat in a tasty, wholesome way.
