Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash about 4 to 5 cups diced
  • 2 cups vegetable broth 480 mL
  • 4 cloves garlic peeled
  • 1 medium white onion about 1 cup diced
  • 1 granny smith apple
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 bunch fresh thyme
  • 1 cup canned coconut milk 240 mL

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prep: Peel, deseed, and roughly chop butternut. Add butternut to slow cooker along with everything except the coconut milk.
  2. Cook: Stir to combine then cook for 6 to 8 hours on low, or 2 to 4 hours on high. Soup is ready when butternut is easily mashed with a fork.
  3. Blend: Pick out the sprigs of thyme. Use a handheld immersion blender to puree the soup (alternatively, carefully transfer to a countertop blender and puree).
  4. Serve: Stir in coconut milk and serve, optionally drizzling more coconut milk over soup after ladling into bowls. 

Notes

  • For stove-top soup, follow the instructions above, but instead, add everything to a large pot on the stove. Rather than a slow cooker, bring to a gentle simmer for 20 to 30 minutes or until the butternut is tender. Blend and finish as instructed above!
  • Storage: This soup can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container or frozen for 3 months. Just let it cool completely before storing.
