A deliciously warming and lightly spiced soup made with butternut squash and coconut milk. Vegan friendly!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"spiced<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Is it just me or is anyone else happy that it’s soup season again? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love my summer salads but there’s something very satisfying about making up batches of warming soup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Butternut Squash is my favourite of the winter squashes so it’s only fitting that this is the first of my more wintery recipes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Not only is the recipe delicious it’s also very budget friendly to make. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most supermarkets sell a whole squash for less than \u00a31. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My tip for cheaper coconut milk is to look for it in the ‘ world foods’ aisle of the supermarket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It tends to be a lot cheaper than the more popular brands. If you have an Asian supermarket near also check that out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With all canned coconut milk I would recommend that you read the ingredients to ensure that it has not been bulked out with sugar or any other unnecessary ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With winter colds and flu beginning to plague us, all it’s important to keep our immune system in tip top condition over the coming months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Butternut Squash So Good For Us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Butternut squash is very high in Vitamin A and also contains a good amount of Vitamin C. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also has excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, essential for keeping us healthy over the coming months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I love butternut squash I know some people find it a little bland so by adding some spice to the soup gives it an extra depth of flavour that will have even the fussiest of eaters agreeing that it tastes great! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added just one tablespoon of mild curry powder to my soup as I wanted the kids to be able to eat it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you can vary the amount or strength of the curry powder to your own tastes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This soup is so filling I happily eat it on it’s own for lunch. But you can serve it with some crusty bread too for a more substantial meal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
