Roasted Butternut Squash Coconut Soup

It’s always time for soup, right? Especially when it’s loaded with YUMMY ingredients, like this Roasted Butternut Squash Coconut Soup! Who’s hungry!?

Squash + Coconut = Soup

Does this sound like a super-weird equation? Well, not to me! I’m always looking to “up” my butternut squash soup game and you know what, coconut is IT! I love that silky, tropical vibe that you get from coconut and it just happens to pair so magnificently with roasted butternut squash. MMMMM, soup perfection!

Ingredient Stuff

  • Butternut Squash ‘Tis the season for squash! Butternut squash happens to be one of my favorite winter squashes, so that’s why I use it here. But, guess what!? Other squash will work here too! Yep, you could try acorn squash or even pumpkin. Just saying.
  • Coconut Milk Such a magical liquid and the absolute perfect addition to this soup. It adds just the perfect amount of creaminess to this soup!

Tips and Other Ideas for my Roasted Butternut Squash Coconut Soup

  1. Buy the big squash! You can use the extra to make more soup or you can save the extra to add to other dishes. I love adding it to my chili or even pasta sauces!
  2. Freeze extra! Here’s some great news – this soup freezes really well! So grab a freezer safe container – I like Souper Cubes – and freeze any extra. It’s the perfect thing to grab come lunch time!
  3. Skip the coconut. Okay, I know! Coconut IS in the title, but I know that some people either don’t like or can’t have coconut. No worries! Substitute with another milk of your choice, preferably something full fat and without added sugar.
