When it’s winter out, it’s time to bust out all the soup recipes to warm yourself up during those cold nights. This butternut squash curry soup is one of my favourites to make – it’s perfect for a cozy night in!
What you will need to make butternut squash curry soup
- Minced garlic
- minced ginger
- Garlic chilli paste
- Red curry paste
- Sugar
- Shallots
- Cinnamon
- Curry powder
- Butternut squash
- Coconut milk

Like I mentioned above – this easy peasy recipe is make entirely in one pot. No extra pans to wash – even the butternut squash is cooked right in the soup!
One thing I will mention is that I would prefer next time to use pre-cubed butternut squash. Not that I minded peeling and cubing it myself, it was just a tedious task and I could save a little extra time next time by buying it pre-cubed.
When making this delicious butternut squash curry soup – all you have to do is cook the herbs and spices along with the shallots until they are nice and translucent.
Once those are cooked through – just add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Cover for 15 minutes and voila! You’re almost there.
I used an immersion blender to form a smooth soup but alternatively, you could use a blender or food processor.
Enjoy with a slice of bread or some crispy onions. This soup is incredibly filling and can even be frozen to be served later.
If you want the ‘low carb’ version of this recipe – make sure to check it out on my other website – The Hungry Elephant. The recipe is nearly identical but with swapping out just one ingredient.
