This coconut curry butternut squash soup is one of my go-to fall recipes. Although it’s not always at the top of everyone’s grocery list, squash is an inexpensive and versatile ingredient that is perfect for fall recipes. If I’m being honest, squash can be a little bland on its own, so it’s particularly delicious when roasted, grilled or paired with fragrant spices.

This looks like the perfect dinner meal! It’ll be on the table tonight and I bet the kids will love it too. Thanks for the recipe!
Great, let me know what you think!
i personally love soups, especially in the colder months and this one sounds really nice.
This one is one of my favourites! Hope you enjoy it 🙂
I’m making this tonight! It looks delicious. I wanted to say thanks for not having a bunch of paragraphs of text before the recipe. Also, the ads are not obtrusive. I will be following you!
Oh good, I’m so happy to hear it! I hope you enjoy the recipe. 🙂
This soup is such a winter and I made the double batch as suggested. Instead of the crushed chilli flakes, I added 3/4 of a red chilli and would add even more next time. I am ready to take on winter with this soup!
The best soup!! We devoured it and even fought for the leftovers (Never happens).
My family loves this soup and we have been enjoying it as a delicious hot lunch this past week. Easy to make and SO good!
So happy the family loves it – thank you for sharing!
We love this recipe! I probably have made 5-6 times over the last year. When my vegetarian daughter is in town I use vegetable broth.
So happy to hear it, thank you for sharing, Terri!
