Thai butternut squash soup

Thai butternut squash soup is the correlation of delicious, seasonal butternut squash, along with the amazing flavors of fresh ginger, Thai  curry paste and coconut milk. This is will be your new favorite fall and winter soup.

Not the flavors you usually find when you eat a butternut squash soup. But let me tell you, the flavors work so well! This soup is a combination of east meets west for the fall and winter season. If you’re following a gluten-free diet, there’s no need to miss out because this soup is also gluten-free!

Butternut squash not only works well as a soup. Because of it’s naturally  creamy texture, I made it into a dairy free pasta sauce that can also be made into a soup in creamy butternut squash pasta. By adding red Thai curry paste and coconut milk, transforms this  soup  into a rich and decadent dish you will fall in love (can you fall in love with a soup?).

I’ve created a  video so you can see the recipe being made, just press play!

Made in under 20 minutes, you can make this soup and either freeze it or have in on hand in the fridge. Perfect for those chilly nights when you get home from work  and want something warm and comforting when you’re in your PJ’s and ready to catch-up  all your DVR shows. You know what I’m talking about, this is that dish! Just add a piece of crusty bread and you have a fast and easy dinner.
