Butternut Squash and Carrot soup
Months ago I saw frozen squash cubes at Costco and I got sucked into buying them {thanks costco!} The package sat in my freezer for awhile – I’m not really a squash eater {as I discovered while the squash sat in my freezer.}
I did make this amazing stuffed mushroom recipe with squash over the summer.
And now that I’ve created and perfected this butternut squash soup recipe I’ve used up the huge package of squash in my freezer and I need more.
This squash soup is a blended fall soup full of amazing spices, carrots, onions and coconut milk. Even my husband who “hates squash” likes this soup! WIN!! I’ve yet to convince the kids – but I think that’s mostly because of the color and consistency.

Gather your veggies, spices and coconut milk. {I also used almond milk one time when I was out of the coconut milk and it was pretty good}
The first step is to season and roast the veggies. I use my air fryer for this. It’s an easy way to roast the carrots and squash, but you can also roast them in your oven {instructions below}
As I mentioned before I used frozen squash cubes {from Costco} but you can also cube a fresh squash.
While the veggies are roasting the stock is started by sauteing the onions with amazing savory spices and oil in a soup pot. This recipe has the best spices for squash soup – yum!
After the onions are cooked and the spices are blended the roasted veggies get added to this pot.
Once you have everything in the soup pot, you will add the broth. I used canned coconut milk {unsweetened} and chicken broth. You an make this vegan by using vegetable stock.
Use an immersion blender to blend in the pot, or pour into a blender to puree. This recipe fits in my Ninja blender all in one batch.
Dish up the fresh hot soup and enjoy! You can add chives for a fun topping… a bit of coconut creme is yummy on top as well. Print the recipe below then let me know what you think.
