Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash & Curry Soup

This creamy roasted butternut squash curry soup is WOW. You’ll want to batch cook this healthy soup recipe all autumn long.

The colors, the flavors, the creaminess, the toppings…there is just so much to love about this one.

I originally tried making it with pumpkin, and it was good, but the roasted butternut squash was even better. (You can of course try it with pumpkin puree – but try roasting the pumpkin instead of steaming it for added flavor. Or you can buy pre-made). Additionally, the roasted butternut squash seeds have such a nice, unique flavor, too.

Chew Your Soup

I love adding toppings to the soup, as they not only add some beautiful color and crunch, they also force you to chew your soup. Chewing prepares the rest of your body for digestion, so it’s a good to get into the habit of chewing your soup (and smoothies for that matter), to set you up for better digestion.

Ingredients

Roasted Butternut Squash Puree

• 1 small butternut squash peeled, chopped into 1-inch cubes, seeds removed and set aside (about 2 pound squash, yields about 3 cups)
• avocado oil or olive oil, for drizzling

Soup

• 1 Tbsp. avocado oil or olive oil
• 1 cup yellow onion minced
• 1 Tbsp. garlic chopped
• 1 Tbsp. fresh ginger peel removed, chopped
• ⅔ cup coconut milk
• 2 Tbsp. curry paste
• 1 tsp. maple syrup or coconut sugar (don't omit - it balances flavor of soup)
• ¼ tsp. pink salt or more to taste

Toppings (Your Choice)

• basil
• jalapeño
• coconut milk
• crispy curry chickpeas
• roasted butternut squash seeds
• black sesame seeds

Instructions

To make the roasted butternut squash puree

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Toss the butternut squash cubes with a couple teaspoons of avocado oil, then lay out flat, and cook in the oven for 20 minutes.
• When it's done, weigh out 16 oz of squash, and puree it in a blender. If you have a larger squash and have leftover cubes, you can reserve the rest for other uses (or double this soup recipe).

To make the soup

• In a large stockpot over medium heat add 1 tablespoon of oil.
• When hot, add the shallots, ginger, and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, careful not to burn.
• Add coconut milk, curry paste, maple syrup, and butternut squash puree. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes. Add salt.
• Next, carefully pour the soup into a blender, and blend until a uniform creamy texture is achieved. Taste, and add more salt if needed, then blend again.
• To serve, top with your favorite garnishes.

Recipe Notes

To roast the butternut squash seeds, set the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit, line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the seeds on top. Drizzle with a touch of olive oil, and a small pinch of whatever spices you like and have on hand, such as pink salt, garlic powder, chile powder, cumin, paprika, smoked paprika, turmeric, etc.

To save time, you can use 16 oz of frozen butternut squash.
