Quick and Easy Vegan Butternut Squash Soup

Love it? Please share this recipe!

This is by far my favorite fall soup recipe. My creamy vegan butternut squash soup recipe is savory-sweet with a hint of spice and pairs beautifully with a glass of Chardonnay.

You will love how quickly this soup comes together, making it perfect for a busy day. So, pull up a chair and a glass of wine and enjoy! If you love winter squash as much as we do, don't forget to check out all of my gluten free winter squash recipes on the blog :-).

Is it beginning to feel like fall where you live? It's still pretty warm where I live, but the best part is that our evenings are cooling off by six or seven most nights now. Fall is coming! Yay!

Fall also means falling back into football season, or, as Mr. Fearless Dining likes to say, "falling back on the couch!" (Though, if you do, he advised, make sure you are drinking Butter, the amazing chardonnay from JaM Cellars, and not the JaM Cabernet, because white wine spills are easier to hide from your spouse!)"

Winter Squash Recipes

Another fall favorite is winter squash season. I know you can get winter squash year-round, but these vegetables are in their prime sweetness during the fall and winter. Give me butternut, acorn, delicata, kabocha, or any winter squash and I am a happy girl.

Mr. Fearless Dining will proudly say it is finally the "end of mushy zucchini season", which is always a good thing in his mind. Personally, I blame his mother for his acute hatred of all things summer squash!"

This easy butternut squash soup recipe is ready in under 20 minutes so you have more time to spend out of the kitchen with friends.

There is something comforting about a hot bowl of soup in the fall. I have so many amazing gluten free soup recipes for you to try! I hope you will agree that this is the best butternut soup recipe you have tried, it is that good!

After being introduced to Butter and JaM Cab, I am a JaM fan because these wines are so easy to pair with foods. They make versatile wines that are all about fun. Open up a cold bottle of Butter and make a pot of this quick and easy creamy butternut squash soup.

This naturally gluten free butternut soup is also vegan and paleo so it is perfect for anyone who loves comfort food! My creamy butternut soup is full of ginger, nutmeg, and a splash of chipotle for a kick.

Canned vs freshly roasted butternut squash

Many like to know whether canned or roasted butternut squash is best to make soups with. I will be honest...I prefer organic canned butternut squash for making soups.

It is already roasted and flavorful...and you don't have to puree the heck out of the roasted squash to get all of the lumps out. If you decide you want to use roasted butternut squash, here

How to roast butternut squash:

• Cut the butternut squash in half and scoop out the seeds.
• Brush the squash with olive oil (or coconut oil works too!) and put the halves of squash face up on a baking dish.
• Bake the squash at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until it is soft.
• Use a spoon to scoop out the cooked squash and add it to a bowl. Add 3 tablespoons (or more if needed) of water and beat until creamy. For this soup recipe, you don't want your butternut squash puree to be too thick.

How long will this soup keep in the refrigerator?

This homemade butternut squash soup will keep up to 5 days in the refrigerator since it is vegan. 

Can you freeze the extras?

You can definitely freeze the extra soup! To freeze, I like to pour the soup into a Freezer Ziplock style bag. Squeeze all of the air out, seal, and freeze. It will keep in your freezer for up to 4 months.

How can you make butternut soup thicker?

There are several ways to make butternut soup thicker. You can use less liquid, or you can thicken the soup with arrowroot or tapioca starch. Make sure to whisk it constantly as you sprinkle in the starch or you will get lumps.
