Vegan Butternut Squash Soup One Pot Creamy Recipes

VEGAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Begin by making the cashew cream. In a high-powered blender, such as a Vitamix, combine all the ingredients for the cashew cream, placing the water at the bottom. Blend on high until completely smooth. Set aside.
• Next, prepare the butternut squash. Do do this, first cut the squash in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and stringy membranes and cut off the ends.Stand the squash up on a flat end. With a sharp knife, remove the skin by carefully cutting it away, trying to keep the knife as close to the flesh as possible. Once all the peel is removed, cut the squash into 1″ cubes.
• In a large soup pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and sauté for 3-5 minutes, until onions are translucent. Add minced garlic and sage and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the carrots, celery, butternut squash, and spices. Stir to fully coat the butternut squash. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
• Remove from heat. Stir in the cashew cream. With an immersion blender, blend your soup until it is completely puréed. If you don't have an immersion blender, you can do this in a food processor. If you are using a food processor, allow your soup to cool slightly before transferring it carefully to the food processor. Be sure not to over-fill your food processor. This is best done in batches. Serve immediately with additional cashew cream, toasted pepitas, or freshly ground pepper.

VEGAN BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP - ONE POT & CREAMY

Steps:

• In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat until shimmering.
• Add in the onion and garlic and stir to coat with the olive oil. Allow to cook for about 3 minutes, until the garlic becomes fragrant.
• Add in the butternut squash, stir to combine, and sauté for about 7 minutes until the butternut squash releases some flavour and the onions become translucent.
• Add in the salt, pepper, thyme, vegetable broth, almond milk, stir to combine.
• Bring to a boil and then to a simmer for another 10 minutes, until the butternut squash becomes fork tender. Test it with a fork to ensure it is properly cooked through.
• Remove from heat. Pour the soup into a large blender. Now add the lime juice into the blender too. If you're not using a large blender (holds at least 6 cups) then do this in increments. Using the soup setting on your blender, or a very powerful blend option, blend until creamy and smooth. My blender automatically blends for about 3 minutes continuously. OR, you can use an immersion blender and puree the soup ingredients until combined and smooth.
• Taste and add salt and pepper to taste if necessary.
• Serve into bowls and top with garnish - I love extra nutmeg, parsley and a bit of extra almond milk or a touch of coconut milk on top (OPTIONAL).

Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon, cumin, cloves, coriander, paprika, and chile flakes. Add butternut squash, yam, carrots, and celery. Add enough water to just cover.
• Increase heat and bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until all vegetables are fork-tender, 30 to 45 minutes.
• Fill a blender halfway with soup. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour back into the saucepan. Repeat with remaining soup. Add maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt.
