Notes
Top tips for making Curried Butternut Squash Soup with Coconut Milk and Ginger
- The soup will keep well in the fridge for a few days and is easily frozen. If you're using a freezer bag to store your soup, freeze it flat so that you can stack the frozen bags to save space. Also, make sure your soup is cool before freezing and if you plan to reheat only some of it at a time, store it in pre-portioned containers.
- If you want to add even more veggies into this soup, I'd recommend adding 8oz frozen cauliflower (at the same step you add the butternut squash).
- Butternut squash is harvested in the Autumn, so if you're making this soup out of season, buy frozen butternut squash to take advantage of all those nutrients!
- For garnishes, I like fresh cilantro, chopped nuts (like cashews or peanuts) and whole wheat pita chips for dipping! You can also serve this with a side salad of fresh greens for additional veggies.
