Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Curried Butternut Squash Soup – a light and creamy butternut sqaush soup that is full of coconut milk and curry flavor.  Super quick and easy to make!

I love when squash season arrives. Roasted Butternut Squash is a great side dish with just about any meal.  And turning it into a comforting soup is great for any night of the week.  Soup is the best way to deal with the cold!  Taco Soup combines taco night and a cozy soup in one meal.  Can’t beat that!  

Plus if soup is on the menu, that usually means we get to have bread!  Bread and soup go perfectly together.  Honey Butter Dinner Rolls are my new favorite with just about anything. 

This butternut squash soup recipe is super creamy and very smooth.  But there isn’t any cream in it!  It has coconut milk in it, which is actually good for you.  I was a little nervous, because my husband isn’t big on coconut flavor.  But it works, the flavors all just blend together, and you couldn’t even tell coconut milk was in there. 

I think it is pretty clear that I like curry (Chicken Curry is a staple for sure), so I was immediately drawn to this soup.  It has a little heat in the background, but nothing spicy or over powering,  In fact, next time I might up the curry paste a little, just to give it more of a kick.

How to make Butternut Squash Soup

1. The first step is to cook the squash.  You can buy the squash already peeled and diced from the store, or do this step on your own.  Just bake the squash until it is soft. 
2. Once the squash is cooked you will saute the onions until they are soft. 
3. Add everything to the pan and let it simmer.  It doesn’t take too long since the squash is already cooked. 
4. You can use a stick blender to get the soup nice and smooth.  
5. If you use a regular blender be careful with the hot soup, it is best to do in batches so you don’t burn yourself.

Can Butternut Squash Soup be frozen? 

Yes, this curried butternut squash soup is great to freeze.  Let it cool completely and then place in an air tight container.  I like to freeze in individual containers so it makes for an easy lunch during the week. 

You can easily make this soup vegan or vegetarian by using vegetable stock instead of chicken stock.  Coconut milk is vegan friendly, so it is great to make this thick and creamy vegan butternut squash soup.
