Rich, golden deliciousness is what this Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is. Which is precisely why it became my go-to autumn soup.
Some people may see the hard exterior of a squash or pumpkin and immediately shy away. Sure, they may seem tough on the outside but that healthy, golden interior is easy to get to. You can peel butternut squash, cut it up and then cook/roast it.
However, let's make this reaaallll simple. Cut that butternut squash in half. Brush it with some olive oil and let the oven do the work for you.
The result:
tender, scoopable butternut squash flesh ready to be pureed into soup...if it makes it that far. That flesh is so moist and tender, you can sprinkle a little bit of salt on top and eat it with a spoon. YUM!
Wait...that's not what this recipe is for though ;D
It's all about turning that deliciousness above ↑ into this deliciousness below ↓
I mean who wouldn't want to dig into a delicious lookin' soup like that?
By all means, fill that bowl up to the brim with this roasted butternut squash soup because it's loaded with health benefits! Butternut squash is rich in phytonutrients, antioxidants, potassium, B vitamins, fiber, and Vitamin A.
I don't think you'll need any more convincing. Make it, take a picture and share it with me on Instagram. I love seeing all of your creations :)

Recipe Notes
1. Garlic and Onions can also just be heated until glassy and translucent in the pot.
2. You can easily play around with how much broth and coconut milk you add to reach desired consistency.
3. Please note that not all vegetable broth is gluten-free.

This soup is perfect for autumn! I used 1/2 the recommended curry powder because I don't like very strong flavours and it was fantastic.

Hi Julie, I'm so happy to hear you liked the roasted butternut squash soup. I just bought a butternut squash today and was planning on making the soup again tomorrow. Glad you liked it ;)
Dianne says
This is my kind of soup! I'm going to pick up some squash the next time I go shopping. Thank you for such a yummy recipe!
Jenn says
I LOVE butternut squash soup! And I love that you added curry powder - I adore the spices in curry powder and I think it brings many soups to a whole other level. Can't wait to try this!
Cadry says
Oh, I love that you've added curry powder & coconut milk to the mix. This sounds wonderfully fragrant and full-bodied.
Alisa says
I like how you went completely savory with this soup. The butternut recipes that are lightly sweetened are great, but sometimes it's nice to enjoy squash's savory side!

I used to be afraid of peeling squash because my hand would slip and I was positive I'd lose part of a finger. LOL! Now that I know how to peel one, I make squash once a week in the fall and winter. This soup is definitely going on my meal plan list.
Mina Joshi says
This soup recipe is perfect for these cold evenings. I like the idea of adding coconut milk to the soup. My son has just become vegan so this recipe will be perfect to make when he visits.

I hate the dark and damp at this time of year but I do love the seasonal produce and butternut squash has to be one of the best. This soup looks lush! Sharing!

Thanks Anna! Enjoy!
Heather says
Could chicken broth be used instead of vegetable? I'm not vegan and only have chicken broth on hand.
Vanessa Croessmann says
Hi Heather, chicken broth will work just as well for this soup. Enjoy!
