To make it, I start with butternut squash that I’ve already roasted (or you can use my super simple slow cooker method, if you like).

Once cooked, you can easily deseed and peel it with a vegetable peeler. No hacking away needed like when trying to cut up raw butternut squash!

Note that you can also use frozen butternut squash if you’d like.

Drizzle the olive oil into your Dutch oven and toss in your celery, onion, and garlic. Cook until the onion is just tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 3 minutes. Then, toss in your butternut squash chucks.

Stir in your chicken stock. I prefer to use my homemade chicken stock that I keep stocked in my refrigerator and freezer, but you can also use a 32-ounce container of store-bought if you like. Then, stir in your curry powder and ginger.

Next, you’ll add your coconut cream to the soup. Now, let me just tell you, this does not make the soup taste overly like coconut, but it does give it a beautiful creaminess without adding any dairy to the soup. The flavor goes perfectly with the curry, ginger and the butternut squash. The combination makes it absolutely scrumptious!

If you have an immersion blender, just pop it into the soup pot and blend until the soup is smooth and creamy. If you do not have an immersion blender, you can process in batches in a blender or in your food processor.

      Made this soup tonight using one cup of lite coconut milk in place of the coconut cream and it was tasty and full of flavor. I recommend this recipe. Simple and nutritious too!

  1. Robyn, this looks like a bowl of love! Definitely something I’d love to try to make for my hubby, the soup lover in the family! And he loves anything with coconut, too. This looks so creamy and rich, which is right up my ally! Thank you for sharing 🙂

  2. Hello there! I was just wondering can you tell me a little more about how to roast the butternut squash? Temperature of the oven? How long? Any prep to the butternut squash?

    1. Absolutely! It really is so simple. I just place cleaned butternut squash on a baking sheet and bake at 425ºF for an hour. I don’t wait for the oven to preheat and just pop it right on in. I hope you enjoy it! xo

  3. I am making this! Yum! You always have the best recipes. They remind me of my childhood when ingredients did not involve a shortcut or box or simplified sacrificing flavor.

    1. Aww June, that is so sweet of you! I hope you love this soup. It definitely packed with flavor and one of my favorites to chase off a winter chill. xo
