    Key ingredients and substitutions:

    The ingredients needed to make a curried butternut squash soup in small bowls.
    • Butternut squash - you can use fresh or frozen butternut squash to make this soup recipe. If you don't have butternut squash you can swap this for another type of squash.
    • Apples - red apples add a delicious sweet flavour to this fall soup recipe. You can use any type of red apple that you like to make this squash and apple soup.
    • Coconut milk - coconut milk adds a delicious creaminess to this soup. I recommend using full fat coconut milk for the most rich and creamy soup.
    • Curry spice - curry spice is used to give this curry butternut squash soup such an incredible flavour. You can use any type of curry spice that you like to make this soup.

    How to make this recipe:

    Step one:

    First, place a large pot on the stove on medium heat and add the butter to the pot. 

    Step two:

    Once the butter is melted, add the chopped onion to the pot and cook for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent.

    Step three:

    Next add the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring everything to a boil.

    Step four:

    Then turn down the heat and allow the ingredients to simmer for ~30 minutes (until they are soft).

    Step five:

    Let the soup cool for a few minutes and then use your immersion blender to blend well, until smooth. Then serve and enjoy!

    Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoon butter or ghee (or substitute coconut oil for vegan)
    • 1 cup chopped white onion
    • 1 kg fresh or frozen squash, peeled
    • 2 red apples, chopped (I love Pink Lady or Gala apples)
    • 3 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth
    • 3 cups full fat coconut milk
    • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (omit for Whole30)
    • 2 tablespoon curry spice
    • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
    • 2 teaspoon sea salt

    Instructions

    • Place a large pot on the stove on medium heat and add the butter to the pot.
    • Once the butter is melted, add the chopped onion to the pot and cook for a few minutes, until the onion is translucent.
    • Add the remaining ingredients to the pot and bring everything to a boil.
    • Turn down the heat and allow the ingredients to simmer for ~30 minutes (until they are soft).

    Notes

    • This makes a large batch of soup so feel free to freeze the extras for a later date.
    • If you are vegan use vegetable broth and coconut oil instead of butter.
    • You do not need to peel the apples. The skin will get pureed when you blend it with the immersion blender. 
    • Nutritional values are an estimate and will vary depending on the exact ingredients used. 
    • Store any leftover soup in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
