Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

I absolutely love squash of any kind, but I would have to say my favorite it Butternut Squash.  It is my go-to (that and spaghetti squash) and this soup is always at the top of my list when the weather turns cool.  I love how creamy it gets and that splash or two of maple syrup just bring it to the next level.  It is a pretty thick soup, but you can always thin it out with some extra coconut milk or even a little unsweetened almond milk.  I love serving it as a side dish, but it is filling enough to really be a main dish as well!

Can you taste the coconut milk?

Nope!  I really cannot at all – I feel like it takes on the flavor of the squash and especially if you add in the maple syrup, I don’ think you can taste it at all!

Can I freeze this Roasted Butternut Squash Soup?

Yes!  This would be a fantastic recipe to freeze!

Notes

• Don’t for get to fully incorporate your coconut milk – I usually pour mine into a tall, wide-mouth mason jar and use my immersion blender to combine.
• To make Whole30 compliant simply omit the maple syrup.
• Coconut milk substitute: I haven’t found anything that substitutes the thickness of coconut milk, but you could certainly use unsweetened almond milk, but it won’t have quite the same texture or creaminess.
• Store in airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-7 days.
• Dairy-Free – to make dairy free use vegan butter or olive oil
