This Thai spiced Butternut Squash soup is full of robust flavors , healthy and creamy without any added cream or  sugar.

It’s vegan as well as gluten free .

Butternut Squash, the most delicious among all winter squashes has been our house favorite all Fall. Of course anything that has the word butter in it have to be tasty right!! Jokes apart , if you haven’t tried butternut squash yet, please do so as it’s not only yum but comes with truck load of benefits .

Did you know –

One cup of butternut squash provides a whopping 437% percent of your vitamin A needs for the day, as well as 52% of vitamin C and 10% or more of vitamin E, thiamine, niacin, vitamin B-6, folate, magnesium and manganese.Butternut squash is an excellent source of potassium, bringing in 582 milligrams per 1 cup (cubed) – more than a banana.

Source –read more benefits here .

This season , I have been using butternut squash in almost everything I cook . The delicate sweet buttery flavor just blends in beautifully in rice, stews , soups , salads etc. I am even freezing butternut squash chunks , so that I can enjoy it for an extended period.

Today I am sharing a yummy soup recipe with you which needs only 10 minutes prep time, no roasting in the oven , rest is simmering and quick purée . I have spiked up the soup with some thai curry paste to add some kick which is much-needed in this cold weather.  This time I have just topped the soup with coconut milk  and not added any while cooking  it .This soup is utterly butterly delicious on its own. Feel free to add coconut milk , it will make the soup richer in taste. I have even used some cauliflower for added benefits and creamier texture. My son is a picky eater so I always hide veggies he doesn’t like in soups , dals etc . Feel free to skip it.

You can make a big batch and freeze it to enjoy later , for quick-lunch box  or dinner.

Stays well 3 days in the fridge and 2 months in the freezer. Freeze in one time use portions, do not re freeze.

If you find it difficult to cut the squash, refer to you tube videos or just buy ready chopped squash chunks.

Home made Thai curry paste recipe can be found here.  You can skip the spice , but adding it makes it more flavorful.

    I made with a slightly different red curry paste. I actually had some kaffir lime zest from the one lime our tree produced. Haha. Good thing I got the tree only really for the leaves!I am more of a flexitarian so I also had shrimp paste as part of the paste. I added fish sauce, lime laves and a bit of brown sugar to soup itself. This was a very tasty and pleasantly pungent soup—— pungent most likely due to added ingredients.
