Lunch/Dinner Vegan Vegetarian Soup

Butternut squash soup | Vegan

October 13, 2020

Do you like autumn? I like those cold evenings spent under a blanket with a bowl of warming soup. Speaking of which, I have one of my favourite autumn recipes for you. Creamy butternut squash soup spiced with ginger, black pepper and a hint of chilli. With this simple recipe, you'll make an aromatic and super creamy vegan soup.

Myślę, że sezon dyniowy możemy oficjalnie uznać za otwarty! Co bardzo mnie cieszy. Uwielbiam dynie, głównie za to, że jest tak uniwersalnym produktem. Nadaje się do ciast, deserów, zup, sałatek, zapiekanek, faszerowania i wielu innych. Możliwości są tutaj nieograniczone! W sezonie dostępna jest praktycznie wszędzie w najróżniejszych odmianach, rozmiarach, kolorach i kształtach. No i jak jej nie lubić? Ja dynię uwielbiam!

This creamy butternut squash soup recipe is a simple, basic version that uses only a few easily accessible ingredients. The addition of ginger, chilli and black pepper makes the soup aromatic, but not too spicy. If you like super spicy food, feel free to add more chilli powder. 

You can prepare this recipe using any type of pumpkin you have on hand. This time I used butternut squash. Depending on the pumpkin type, you may have to adjust the thickness of the soup by adding a little less/more vegetable stock.  

Butternut squash soup - how to serve and store? 

Serve your butternut squash soup with pumpkin seeds, toasted bread, crackers, or breadstick, to add a crunchy element. 

From time to time, I serve this pumpkin soup topped with crumbled feta cheese or creamy goat cheese, but of course, it’s a non-vegan option. 

Store your pumpkin soup in an airtight food container in the fridge. It'll keep for 2-3 days.
