How to prepare this Vegan Butternut Squash Soup?

This Butternut Squash Soup is ready in only 2 simple steps.
And yet there is no oil or other processed ingredients in this soup recipe. Only whole natural plant food ingredients that will keep you healthy and trim.
Step 1: Chop the vegetables into several large pieces. Place them in a pot together with the garlic, turmeric, and ginger and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 20 mins or until tender.
Step 2: Once the vegetables are cooked, put them in a blender. Add vegetable broth from the pot and season with thyme and salt. Blend everything together until smooth.
For a creamier texture, I add some raw cashew nuts and the Butternut Squash Soup becomes even richer and more flavorful.
Useful Tips
- When it comes to soups I prefer a thicker consistency, more like a meal. However, you can adjust the thickness of your soup by adding more or less vegetable broth.
- As the pumpkin cooks quicker than the other veggies, I usually add it around 10 mins after them and boil for another 10 mins after that. In this way, It is not overcooked and more of its nutrients are preserved.

The Easiest Vegan Butternut Squash Soup
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds (700 g) butternut squash, or pumpkin, peeled and deseeded
- 2 medium (420 g) potatoes
- 1 large carrot
- 1 large onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 inch (2.5 cm) fresh turmeric tuber
- 1- inch fresh ginger root
- ¾ tsp thyme
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ cup (60 g) raw cashews
- 5 cups (1200 ml) water
Instructions
- Chop the veggies (butternut squash, potatoes, carrot, and onion) into 2-3 large pieces.
- Place them in a pot together with the garlic, turmeric, and ginger. Add the water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 20 mins or until tender.
- Put the cooked veggies, garlic, ginger, turmeric, and cashews in a blender. Add vegetable broth from the pot, season with thyme and salt, and blend for several minutes or until creamy.
- Transfer the soup back to the pot. Serve with croutons, boiled chickpeas, or buckwheat. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can adjust the thickness of your soup by adding more or less vegetable broth.
- I prefer to add the pumpkin last, around 10 mins after the other vegetables. It boils quickly and I don’t want to overcook it. Thus more nutrients are preserved.
- If you don't have fresh ginger or turmeric, you can use 1 teaspoon dried of each.
