Description

This Curried Butternut Squash Soup is quick and easy to prepare and completely vegan. It is the perfect fall soup.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 30ml (2 tbsp) vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2g (1 tsp) curry powder
  • 1 butternut squash, peeled, deseeded and chopped
  • 2 medium apples, cored, peeled and chopped
  • 2.5ml (1/2 tsp) dried thyme
  • 2.5ml (1/2 tsp) dried sage
  • 1L (4 cups) vegetable stock
  • 2.5ml (1/2 tsp) salt, or to taste
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) vegan or coconut cream
  • fresh coriander leaves, chopped [for garnishing]

Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a big saucepan. 
  2. Add the onion and cook until softened but not browned, which should take about 5 minutes. 
  3. Add curry powder and stir for 1 minute.
  4. Add the butternut, apple, thyme, sage, stock and salt. 
  5. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat to a steady simmer and cook for 15 minutes.
  6. Using a hand blender, purée the soup until smooth. If you don’t have a hand blender, wait for the soup to cool a bit then transfer it to a blender and purée it in batches. Return the soup to the pot.
  7. Slowly reheat the soup, add the cream, stir well, sprinkle with coriander and serve immediately with your favourite bread. Enjoy!

Notes

  • After the butternut has been prepared, you should have around 450g (1lb) or flesh to cook with.
  • This soup is really good served with whole-wheat pita wedges for dipping.
  • If you’re not vegan or lactose intolerant, you can substitute the oil with butter and use double (heavy) cream instead of the vegan version.
  • If you find you have plenty of butternut squash leftover, you can freeze it to use later! Check out my guide on how to freeze butternut squash for more info.
