Apple Butternut Squash Soup

Apple Butternut Squash Soup

apples, butternut squash, veggies, with vegan option

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This lovely blend of  apples, butternut squash and curry is just so yummy! This autumn soup is very creamy even though it is very low in fat. It is even tastier if made in advance and refrigerated before pureeing in blender and reheated when ready to serve, but it isn’t necessary. I served this creamy luscious soup as an appetizer in a demi-tasse for a Fall evening party-WOW!–and no need for spoons here, just perfect for a holiday party! I also give you the option of making this soup vegan by substituting the buttermilk with dairy-free unsweetened plain cashew yogurt (click here to see the brand I use).

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil extra virgin
  • 1 big yellow onion
  • 1 Tbsp curry powder mild
  • 20 ounces fresh butternut squash
  • 2 medium apples
  • 3 cups fat-free vegetable broth
  • ¾ cup apple cider
  • 1½ cups fat-free buttermilk or cashew yogurt for vegan option
  • ¾ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Peel and chop the onions finely. Place olive oil in a pot large enough to hold the soup, and heat to medium; add chopped onions and curry powder and sautee over low heat until tender (8-10 minutes).
  • Peel the apples, core and slice in big chunks. When onions are tender, pour in broth, chopped squash, apples and salt and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat, add in the apple cider and simmer until the squash and apples are very tender (about 20 minutes).
  • When the soup is ready, let it cool down for a few minutes.
  • Pour it in a blender or food processor (you may have to do it in several batches) and puree until smooth. Alternatively, you can use a stick hand blender to blend the soup to desired creaminess right in the pot, its a lot less messy!
  • Add buttermilk or cashew yogurt (for vegan option) and simmer for a few minutes.

    Hello! I made this soup yesterday with butternut squash and I really enjoyed it. I didn’t have apple cider or curry. So, I didn’t add the apple cider . Instead of curry, I added the separate ingredients: coriander, turmeric, cinnamon, cumin, salt. I also didn’t add buttermilk. For me was perfect as it was. Delicious! Thank you for this recipe. Merci, Tania

    Catherine,
    This recipe is great and so versatile! I loved it just as you created it but my husband is not a fan of blended soups and he MUST have meat or he is disappointed so… I had some left over Butternut squash which I cut up small and roasted. Yum, never done that before! I added these to the soup then I cooked up some chicken apple sausage which I added to hubby’s soup bowl. We were both happy! Thanks
    P.S. I also enjoyed adding a spoonful of plain yogurt. The sour/sweet mix was great.

    Do you think cashew cream can be substituted for buttermilk to keep it plant based,

      Hi Cindy, I have never tried cashew cream so I can’t say for sure. One thing I do know, is that I like the nutritional profile of cashew nuts very much and I have the feeling it would be absolutely delicious in this soup. The only issue for me is whether it would add too many calories to this simple soup, because you are trying to replace 1 1/2 cups of buttermilk. Because I am not familiar with cashew cream per say, other than that it is made with cashews and water, I don’t know how many cashews you would need to make 1 1/2 cup cream. So something to stay aware but otherwise, go for it!! And please let me know if you love it!
