Creamy Fall Comfort: Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Curried Butternut Squash Soup

Today, I’m excited to share a cozy fall recipe that’s perfect for chilly evenings: Curried Butternut Squash Soup. This creamy and flavorful soup is a favorite of mine during the autumn season, and I can’t wait for you to try it!

Ingredients:

• 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed (about 800g)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 1 apple, peeled and chopped
• 2 tablespoons curry powder
• 1 can coconut milk (400ml)
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Kitchen Tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large pot
• immersion blender

To start, heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Next, add the carrots, apple, and butternut squash to the pot. Sprinkle in the curry powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the vegetables.

Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk, making sure all the vegetables are submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, you can add more vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency. Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Serve the Curried Butternut Squash Soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. This soup is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or for sharing with friends at a fall gathering.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 1700g, with approximately 6 servings. Each serving weighs around 283g, with an estimated calorie count of 250 per serving.

One unique tip for this recipe is to roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup for an extra depth of flavor. Simply toss the cubed squash with a bit of olive oil and roast in the oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes until caramelized.

I hope you enjoy making this Curried Butternut Squash Soup as much as I do! Feel free to customize it with your favorite spices or toppings to make it your own. Happy cooking!
