It’s the time of the year where warm soups and stews are greeted with joy and great anticipation, and this creamy Butternut Squash Spiced Soup is no exception!

Are you looking for a recipe that is easy to make, comforting, tasty and nutritious? I got your back!

How to make the most of the Butternut Squash Season

Before I tell you about the numerous benefits of this pear shaped vegetable let me tell you a few things you can do with it!

Roasted Butternut Squash – slice crosswise into rings of about 1 cm and roast with a drizzle of olive oil and sprinkle of salt for about 15 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius. You don’t need to remove the skin, just wash thoroughly before roasting.

Spaghetti – you will need a spiralizer for this one – spiralizing a butternut squash or a courgette is a great way to get kids to eat more veggies without them realizing!

Use the seeds – don’t discard the seeds! They are packed with nutrients and are delicious as a snack or sprinkled on top of this soup! Wash them, pat them dry and mix them into your most beloved spices (paprika, chili, thyme, etc.), some salt and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil before roasting for about 10 minutes.

A gooey brownie – Pureed your butternut squash into a brownie and you end up with the most delicious and gooey chocolate treat. Check out this recipe and simply replace the sweet potato for butternut squash instead.

This recipe

This creamy Butternut Squash Soup is very quick and easy to make. You will need:

Half an onion, some garlic and curry powder
One potato
One butternut squash
Some carrots
Some miso paste
Coconut cream

Crispy Chickpeas

I love to decorate this soup with some roasted crispy chickpeas and fresh parsley.

To roast the chickpeas:

Preheat the oven to 200°C.
Use a can of cooked chickpeas (or half a can)
Rinse and drain the chickpeas.
Next, rub the chickpeas and take off the white skin on top of each one. Don’t worry if you leave some skin.
In a bowl, stir together the chickpeas with some extra virgin olive oil, salt, chili powder or smoked paprika.
Transfer chickpeas onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 30 minutes until crispy.

Place on top of this soup or enjoy as a snack.
