Vegan butternut squash soup ingredients and tips

Extra virgin olive oil: I’m Spanish, so I use extra virgin olive oil to cook most of my dishes, including this vegan butternut squash soup. However, any type of oil will work. I always use extra virgin oils when possible because they’re healthier.
Garlic.
Onion: this butternut squash soup recipe will taste great no matter what type of onions you use.
Celery.
Carrots.
Butternut squash: the main ingredient of your butternut squash soup recipe!
Vegetable stock: vegetable stock is the best choice because it enhances the flavor of this dish. However, using water is okay too. Feel free to use store-bought vegetable stock, but I suggest you make your own version at home, as it is super easy and healthy.
Salt: I used ionized salt, but any salt will do.
Ground black pepper: fresh ground black pepper tastes amazing. However, I find the store-bought version to be more convenient and easier to measure with a teaspoon.
Ground nutmeg.
Serve your butternut squash soup with dishes like vegan turkey, vegan meatloaf, vegan chicken, vegan steak, or vegan sausage.

How to peel butternut squash

Butternut squash is a hard vegetable, so to peel it, wash it with water and cut the ends off. Stand the squash vertically and start peeling it with a sharp knife or a peeler, starting from the top.

If the squash is too hard, poke some holes in it and microwave it for 3 minutes so it softens a bit.

How to cut butternut squash

Using a sharp knife, cut the butternut squash half lengthwise, remove the seeds and the pulp, and finally cube it.
