Most people consider soups intimidating, time-consuming and settle on eating soups from a can, carton, or restaurant. This Autumn Squash Soup is such a game-changer.

Not even going to lie, I’m also one of those people, but this easy butternut squash soup recipe will change your mind. Some other easy ones are Vegan White Bean Soup, Vegan Potato Leek and Carrot Soup and Vegan Cabbage Soup.

Autumn Squash Soup

Amazing soup that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that will be enjoyed by the entire family and it is ready in under 30 minutes.

The spices are what make this creamy butternut squash soup recipe so special. I added some of my Jamaican curry powder, and no this is not a curried butternut squash soup!

But the curry powder (and a few other spices) gives the flavor a complexity that cuts the sweetness and creaminess.

I have made this butternut squash soup several times, differently every time. If you don’t have vegetable broth, you can use bouillon or similar ingredients, and just add water.

If you don’t have your usual non-dairy milk for drinking, add some canned coconut milk, or just more cream cheese. On the other hand.

You could probably use coconut cream (unsweetened) instead of non-dairy cream cheese. Now mind you, I haven’t tried this, but worst-case scenario, the soup is just a bit thinner.

You can also use sweetened vanilla milk without it affecting the taste since this is already a sweet soup.

Can I Use Frozen Butternut Squash To Make Soup?

If you can’t find fresh butternut squash, use frozen, which is what I had to do this time. It tasted just as amazing! In short, this butternut squash soup is very forgiving.
