πŸ§„πŸ§…πŸŒΏ Butternut Squash Soup πŸŒΏπŸ§…πŸ§„
Author: Alison Andrews (Loving It Vegan)

This vegan butternut squash soup is simply the best. It’s vibrant and colorful and richly flavored. Made with roasted buttternut squash.

Ingredients
For the Roasted Butternut Squash:

πŸ§„ 6 1/2 cups Butternut Squash (2.2 pounds/1kg) Peeled and Chopped
πŸ§„ 1 Tbsp Olive Oil Extra Virgin
πŸ§„ 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
πŸ§„ 1/2 tsp Dried Basil
πŸ§„ 1/8 tsp Sea Salt
πŸ§„ 1/8 tsp Ground Black Pepper

For the Soup:

πŸ§… 2 Tbsp Olive Oil Extra Virgin
πŸ§… 1 Medium Onion White, Yellow or Brown, Chopped
πŸ§… 1 Tbsp Crushed Garlic
πŸ§… 1/2 tsp Cumin
πŸ§… 1/8 tsp Paprika
πŸ§… 4 cups Vegetable Stock (960ml)
πŸ§… 1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
πŸ§… 1 cup Coconut Milk (240ml) Canned, Full Fat, Unsweetened
πŸ§… Sea Salt and Ground Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

🌿 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

🌿 2. Add peeled and chopped butternut squash to a mixing bowl. Add the extra virgin olive oil, dried thyme, dried basil, sea salt and ground black pepper and toss the butternut with the olive oil and spices until lightly coated.

🌿 3. Transfer the butternut squash to a parchment lined baking tray and space the pieces evenly. Bake for 30 minutes until roasted.

🌿 4. When the butternut squash is roasted, add olive oil to a pot along with the chopped onion, crushed garlic, cumin and paprika and sauté until the onions are softened.

🌿 5. Add the roasted butternut squash and toss it with the onions and spices. Add the vegetable stock and soy sauce.

🌿 6. Bring to a simmer. Let it simmer for around 15 minutes for the flavors to blend.

🌿 7. Switch off the heat and use an immersion blender (handheld blender) to blend the soup directly in the pot. If you don't have an immersion blender then let the soup cool for a few minutes and then transfer to your blender jug in stages. Blend it and then when the soup is all blended, return it to the pot.

🌿 8. Stir in the coconut milk.

🌿 9. Add sea salt and ground black pepper to taste.

🌿 10. Ladle into bowls and serve topped with a sprinkle of ground black pepper and a sprig of fresh thyme.

Notes

πŸ§„ This is approximately 1 medium to large butternut squash.

πŸ§„ We used 4 cups of vegetable stock in this soup, which creates a lovely consistency that is neither too thick nor too thin. However, if you're in the mood for a thicker soup (sometimes we are!) then you can reduce the amount of vegetable stock by 1-2 cups. This will result in a really thick comforting soup.

πŸ§„ The soy sauce creates some lovely umami flavors. However, you can omit it if you prefer. If you want the soup to be gluten-free then use a gluten-free soy sauce or switch it for tamari.

πŸ§„ The coconut milk must be a canned, full fat, unsweetened variety. Don't use a light coconut milk or something from a carton as it just won't be rich enough. You can also use canned unsweetened coconut cream for an even richer soup.

πŸ§„ Leftover soup tastes even better the next day. You can reheat it in the microwave or on the stove. Leftovers will keep very well for 3-4 days in the fridge.

πŸ§„ This recipe was first published in February 2018. The original recipe included 2 large carrots (chopped) that were roasted along with the butternut squash. We updated and simplified the recipe but if you prefer the original version with the carrots, feel free to continue adding 2 chopped carrots and baking them along with the butternut squash.

About Gourdie Eggs

This gourd is strangely warm, even at night.

About the Gourdie Creature

Gourdies appear, as if by magic, in fields all over Ark during harvest time. Gourdies hold a very unique position in Ark's superstitions, they are both signs of prosperity and a good harvest but also of a poor harvest and sickly crops. One or two Gorudies appearing in a small field or garden are taken to be a sign of a healthy garden and a good harvest, however if more than a dozen were to appear in the same field/garden it would be seen as a sign of a poor harvest, of crops dying on the vine before they can be harvested. Oddly enough these signs are reversed for large fields and farms.
