Description

A creamy and flavorful soup made with butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and a hint of curry.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion (diced)
  • 2 tbsp red curry paste
  • 2 cups sweet potato (peeled and cubed)
  • 1 medium apple (peeled, cored, and cubed)
  • 4 cups butternut squash (peeled and cubed)
  • 1/2 tsp ground ginger
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or more/less to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 3 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup light coconut milk
  • Optional toppings: fresh cilantro and pumpkin or sunflower seeds

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion to pot and cook until translucent (approx. 4 minutes). Stir in red curry paste.
  2. Add the butternut squash, sweet potato, apple, vegetable broth, and spices and gently stir to combine.
  3. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer for another 20 minutes or until veggies can easily be pierced with a fork. Turn off heat.
  4. Transfer pot contents to a high-speed blender (OR use an immersion blender on the stove), begin to puree the soup, blending until smooth and creamy. Depending on the strength of your blender, it may take 4-5 minutes to get your soup creamy and smooth.
  5. Add coconut milk and blend again. If using a high-speed blender, transfer soup back to pot, taste, and adjust spices as necessary.
  6. Serve soup with optional toppings and enjoy! Store leftovers in the fridge or freezer. See notes for storage directions.

Notes

  • To store leftovers, keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
