Health Benefits of Squash

Butternut squash is not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. It's a great source of vitamins A and C, which are essential for maintaining healthy skin and vision. Additionally, the fiber content in squash aids digestion and helps keep you feeling full longer. This makes squash soup not just a comforting meal, but also a nourishing choice that supports overall well-being.

Furthermore, the addition of coconut milk not only enhances the creaminess of the soup but also provides healthy fats that are beneficial for heart health. The combination of these ingredients ensures that you’re indulging in a dish that’s both satisfying and health-conscious. By choosing this squash soup, you’re giving your body the nutrients it craves while enjoying a delicious meal.

Perfect for Meal Prep

This squash soup is an excellent option for meal prep enthusiasts. It stores well in the refrigerator for up to a week and can also be frozen for longer storage. Simply portion the soup into airtight containers and freeze. When you're ready to enjoy it, just thaw and reheat for a quick and convenient meal. This makes it a fantastic choice for busy weeknights when you need something healthy and satisfying in a hurry.

In addition to being a great stand-alone dish, this soup can also serve as a base for other meals. Consider using it as a sauce for pasta or a topping for grains like quinoa. Its rich flavor and creamy texture make it versatile enough to complement many dishes, ensuring that you won’t tire of it quickly.

4 cups vegetable broth
1 cup coconut milk

Cooking Instructions

Sauté the Vegetables

In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Cook the Squash

Add the cubed squash to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

Blend the Soup

Using a blender, carefully purée the soup until smooth. You may need to do this in batches. Return the soup to the pot.

Add Coconut Milk

Stir in the coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Heat through before serving.

Enjoy!

Serving Suggestions

When serving your squash soup, consider garnishing it with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a splash of lime juice for a refreshing twist. Toasted pumpkin seeds or croutons can add a delightful crunch, enhancing the overall texture of the dish. Pair your soup with crusty bread or a side salad for a well-rounded meal that is both comforting and satisfying.

For those who enjoy a bit of spice, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of hot sauce can elevate the flavor profile and bring a delightful heat to your bowl. Don’t be afraid to experiment with toppings—each addition can transform your soup into something uniquely yours.

Storage and Reheating Tips

To store leftover squash soup, allow it to cool completely before transferring it to airtight containers. It will keep well in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you prefer to freeze the soup, ensure it’s in a freezer-safe container, leaving some space at the top as the soup may expand when frozen. Reheating is simple; just warm it gently on the stove or in the microwave until heated through, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.

If you find that the soup has thickened after refrigeration, you can add a splash of vegetable broth or water during reheating to reach your desired consistency. This will help revive the creamy texture and ensure that every bowl is as delightful as the first.
