Thai Curry Butternut Squash Soup

Thai Curry Butternut Squash Soup

We have all been fighting a terrible cold in my family so I decided to make some soup hoping it would help us all feel better. The smells coming from the soup pot while I was sauteing the veggies and spices were incredible! This Thai curry butternut squash soup took less than an hour to make and was so delicious. The soup turned out creamy, flavorful, and very comforting – we all loved it, especially me. I am looking forward to the leftovers for lunch tomorrow.

How to Make Thai Curry Butternut Squash Soup

Heat the coconut oil in a heavy-bottomed soup pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, for 2 minutes. Add the butternut squash, curry paste, lemongrass, coriander, ginger, cumin, red pepper flakes, and sea salt, to taste. Mix well and continue to cook for about 5-6 minutes, stirring often. Add the minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes, or until the squash is very soft.

Using a blender, work in batches to blend the soup thoroughly (or use an immersion blender if desired). Pour the soup back into the soup pot and add 1/2 cup of coconut milk and lime juice. Mix well. Taste and season with sea salt or more curry paste, if desired.

Ladle into soup serving bowls then drizzle with a little more coconut milk then top some fresh cilantro and serve with some additional lime wedges on the side. Enjoy.

  1. I just made a chipotle butternut squash soup and now I want butternut squash soup all the time! I truly believe coconut milk makes it THAT much more delicious! Your swirls look so pretty 🙂

    1. Roselyne,

      I have never tried making it ahead of time and freezing. I have had it in the fridge for a day or two (it never lasts long) and it was just as delicious.
