I don’t know about you, but I eat soup almost every day during winter. Soup and tea make everything better, don’t they? Today, I have a special treat for you because we’re going to be making one of my favourite soups, a vegan butternut squash soup. I’ve been making this recipe for many years now and I can honestly say that this is the best butternut squash soup you will ever try.
If I’m being completely honest, I neglected this recipe for a while. I think I got so used to eating my creamy zucchini soup that I didn’t feel the need to make any other pureed soups. Then one day I was grocery shopping and there they were – the most beautiful butternut squashes I have ever seen. I grabbed a couple and ran home to make this soup.
Can we just talk for a minute about how beautiful this soup looks? Don’t you just want to take a bath in it? No? I guess it’s just me. But did you know that eating butternut squash is actually beneficial for your skin? Butternut squash is rich in vitamins A and C that promote cell turnover and protect your skin from aging. So if you want to have a healthy, glowing skin, consider including more of this wonderful veggie in your diet.
If you don’t, however, share my love for soups, I still highly suggest you try making the butternut squash puree on its own. I really like serving it as a side instead of mashed potatoes.
By the way, sometimes I’m quite lazy (shocker, I know). So I make the butternut squash puree in advance and store it in the freezer. It stays fresh for about 2 to 3 months this way. Then when I feel like making the butternut squash soup, I use my pre-made puree. This makes the cooking process much shorter which is always good in my books.
- butternut squash (about 3-3.3 lbs)
- 1 head of garlic
- 1 tbsp of grapeseed oil
- 1 tsp dry rosemary
- salt and pepper
- 3½ cups vegetable stock
- 1 onion
- 1½ tbsp grapeseed oil
- ½ cup coconut milk
- 3 tbsp nutritional yeast
- pinch of nutmeg
- salt and pepper
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Wash the butternut squash and cut in half. Remove all the seeds.
- Using a knife, score the flesh.
- Cut the garlic head in half and rub the squash with it.
- Season the squash with rosemary, salt and pepper. Place the garlic halves inside of the squash.
- Place the squash on a baking tray and roast for about an hour. The roasting time will depend on the size of your squash and your oven settings. To check if the squash is ready, insert a knife in the thickest part of the squash. It should easily slide in all the way through.
- Remove the garlic and scoop out the flesh into a blender.
- Blend until you reach a smooth consistency.
- Chop the onion
- In a large pan, heat grapeseed oil and cook the onion for 3-4 minutes over medium heat.
- Add 3-4 roasted garlic cloves to the pan.
- Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper and and cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Add butternut squash puree and nutritional yeast and stir well.
- Pour in the stock and bring the soup to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes.
- Add coconut milk and cook for another 5 minutes.
- Blend the soup in batches. Please be careful!
- Pour the soup back into a clean pot and reheat if needed.
- Enjoy!

That looked so delicious! Can’t wait to try this recipe. I think I will try
making the puree first, it looks amazing and there are fewer steps to
follow, thus satisfying my laziness. 🙂
Rosannasfriend says

Dominika Paczkowska says
Looks delicious! ^^ could you do something with tomatoes? 🙂
Panipuri786 says
Hi! Can’t wait to make this soup. I can’t find nutritional yeast. Will
regular yeast work? If not, is there anything else I can use in place of
nutritional yeast? Btw do more videos because I get excited when you post
new ones. 😀 How about a channa masala one?
Cici Rodrgz says
yuuuummmm
2323kt says
Yay for soup weather! Both garnishes look yummy, but I think I’m leaning
more towards the parsley and pumpkin seeds.

Sindhura Pothineni says
Hey u’re back after a long time mam good to see u again:) ,it is definitely
soup weather but butter nut squash isn’t available may be i can try this
with another type squash .
Lesley Victoria says
Hi! I love your recipes! I made a puréed butternut squash soup maybe a
month ago. For a garnish I roasted the butternut squash seeds with some oil
and garlic powder and roasted them in my oven. They tasted exactly like
pumpkin seeds and it was hard not to eat them all before I served the
soup!!!
Patrick S says
I just peel the squash, chunk it, and boil it, but baking it first must add
extra flavor. Both of those garnishings looked good; I’m leaning towards
the pumpkin seeds personally 🙂
radiantchristina says
i love how you roasted the butternut squash..i have never done it that way,
with the garlic in it. The soup looks great!!! I make a similar one to
yours, with the addition of a little ginger. I like the garnish with the
mushrooms…never thought of that… will try it!!
1024specialkay says
I usually buy the packaged chopped and washed butternut squash from trader
joes. Would I roast them the same way as you in the oven with the rosemary
and garlic (except shorter time)?
I love butternut squash so this is perfect! 🙂
SimplyBakings says
Olga, Butternut Squash Soup is my favorite soup to eat when it’s cold!
Still love your videos, I can watch them everyday every hour. 😀 xx
punchdrunkflame says
Yummy! This soup is my favorite. I like to roast the onion with the
butternut squash and also add a few carrots with it. Some chili powder
helps balance the sweetness. It makes it perfect for me, and it’s so cheap
to make!
HealthNutNutrition says
I love creamy soups like this! I love adding curry powder and ginger as
well 🙂 Great job Olga!

Sandy Do says
I’m excited to make this soup! Just a quick question: the coconut milk that
you used is canned, correct? I just want to make sure it’s not the carton
refrigerated kind sold next to soy milk.

reponse.
Healthy Aspirations says
Hi Olga, I just found your channel and blog a few days ago but I love them
already. I’m currently doing a juice reboot (the joe cross program) and
after two months of this I intend to stay vegan and gluten free so I’m very
inspired by you and am saving all your recipes!
My question is: which type of nutritional yeast do you use and is it
vitamin b12 fortified? Thank you:)

This is the bomb. Thanks for such an awesome easy video. Cant wait to try
this!!!
Ensittare78 says
amazing, i will make it this weekend!
Zooney Looney says
The mushroom one looks delicious
Micaelangel07 says
Ok. I’ve made the paste and I must say that it is not good at all. It
tastes way to garlicky and bitter, even more salt didn’t help. I don’t know
if it will taste better when made into a soup but I might just throw it
down the toilet. No offence, maybe we got different garlic and mine more
pungent.
fame food says
These healthy lunch recipes look amazing!!! Check out some of our vegan
Indian dishes at #Fame Food!
Maria Juan says
Awesome recipe! Garnish with cilantro instead of the Parshley, more
tasteful I think 😉
Mina Ses says
Love this soup…
I was wondering if you may show us how to make creamy tomatoes basil garlic
soup.
Nour Ellahham says
Oh my goodness. I have to try this!
Rebecca McEwan says
I just tried this out tonight!
It was delish! Though I think I used a bit to much salt!
Thanks for sharing 🙂 x
LuminousSky says
I have a question. Are all of the recipes in this channel vegan or do you
have some that aren’t?

My Mom and I just moved which means I have been living off of bread and
Oreos a lot lately. So excited to find your channel!! We live by a grocery
store so I will definitely be picking up ingredients to make some of your
recipes!!
Mara says
This was awesome! I love your way of doing things. I added a bit of cayenne, which the coconut milk rounded out nicely. I also sautéed carrots with my onions, and only roughly blended them to keep some small chunks for texture. I’m thrilled!
Olga says
Yummm!!!
