Healthy and Tasty Coconut and Butternut Squash Soup

January 31, 2017 Filed Under: Soups and Stews

If you are looking for a healthy and flavorful soup to warm you up on a chilly day, this Coconut and Butternut Squash Soup is just the ticket. And did I mention it can be ready in about 30 minutes? Gotta love weeknight fast.

If you follow me on social media or receive our bi-weekly newsletter, you have heard me mention this soup a few times. I made it with some beautiful butternut squash from Harvest 2 You (my local CSA). I won’t yammer on about Community Supported Agriculture, but I will say if you want to make a difference in your health and your local community head over to Local Harvest to learn more and find your local CSA.

An important thing to know about making your own soup is that amounts don’t have to be exact. If you have a little more or less squash that’s okay. The original recipe called for 15 ounce cans of broth and coconut milk. My coconut milk can was a little less, but I use homemade broth so I splashed in a little more and added a bit more spices. I do love freshly grated nutmeg. MMMM!

    My kids used to love butternut squash when they were babies. I’ll have to try this recipe to see if they still do!
