Several years ago, I shared a comforting recipe for butternut squash soup which is a great, hearty soup for autumn through spring. Today I’m sharing a vegan variation of warm and filling butternut squash soup with a zesty curry/coconut flavor. It’s a decadent first course for fall and winter.

This sounds yummy! I love homemade soup in the winter. It’s such a comfort food! I’m making sweet potato and pumpkin soup for tonight’s dinner 🙂

Butternut squash is one of my favourite winter squashes. The soup looks very creamy and full of flavours, Carol.
This looks and sounds delicious. I imagine it being so warming and perfect for the colder months.
That coconut curry butternut squash soup looks incredibly delicious and comforting! The combination of flavors is making my mouth water—can’t wait to try making it myself!

Your soup looks yummy . It’s getting cold here in England now November is here. It’s time for our soup too. Pea soup this week.
Pea soup sounds great – do you make it with ham?
You always have the best recipes. I love creamy soups but have never tried squash.
I’m a southern girl and my peeps fried or sautéed squash. Thanks for broadening my awareness. And thanks for sharing at #Aclwcc.
