Ingredients

Vegan Butternut Squash Soup

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 medium white onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • 2 tablespoons red curry paste
  • cups butternut squash peeled & chopped
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 14 oz whole coconut milk
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 5 teaspoons raw turbinado sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • spiced pumpkin seeds

Spiced pumpkin seeds

  • ½ cup pumpkin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon maple syrup
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ¼ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup green onion

Instructions

  • Heat coconut oil in a large heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once dissolved add in onion, garlic, turmeric, coriander, curry paste and cook for 5 minutes. Add in butternut squash, vegetable broth and coconut milk and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to a light simmer and add in cinnamon, sugar, black pepper, salt and lime juice and let cook for approximately 15 to 20 minutes or until squash is soft.
  • While the soup simmers make the spiced pumpkin seeds by mixing seeds, maple syrup, red pepper flakes, coriander, cinnamon and kosher salt in a small bowl. Once seeds are well-coated fold in green onion and set aside.
  • When the squash is soft transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth. Blend in batches if necessary but don’t fill the mixture to the top to avoid an excessively hot eruption. Once blended, spoon soup into a large bowl, top with spiced pumpkin seeds and sprinkle atop extra lime juice (optional). Serve warm.
