Variations Ideas:

• Seasoning – For added flavor, you can add in fresh herbs or other types of spices. A teaspoon ground cinnamon or curry powder.
• Frozen Butternut Squash – You can use frozen butternut squash to make this recipe. You can thaw the butternut squash and remove any moisture. Feel free to also place the frozen squash to the crock pot and increase cooking time.

Step by Step Instructions:

Expert Tips:

• Preparing Vegetables – Before adding the vegetables to the soup, peel and dice them about the same size with a vegetable peeler. This ensure that they the veggies cook evenly.
• Adding Coconut Milk – Add the coconut milk towards the end of the cooking time. This prevents the milk from breaking down and allows the milk to blend smoothly to the coconut milk.
• Blending Ingredients – Use a blender to puree the soup to thicken and blend the veggies.

What to Serve with Butternut Squash Soup:

Our favorite combination is a simple salad with mixed greens and these  Easy Homemade Dinner Rolls . The soup is perfect for dipping and the rolls help you get every last drop.

Feel free to grab a loaf of French bread from your local grocery story or bakery and serve that with the soup. Just do what is easiest for you!

You can even serve over the top of white rice or quinoa for a filling soup idea.

Topping Ideas:

We love to add cayenne pepper to the top of the soup. If you do not like spice, I recommend leaving it out. I also like to topped mine with some additional pumpkin seeds, coconut milk and parsley.

How to Store and Reheat Leftovers:

Store your leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. This soup will last about 3 days in the fridge. We think this soup taste even better the next day.
