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 it can sometimes be a little difficult to peel. However, with some easy steps and good tools, it’ll be very easy!
To peel it, wash the butternut squash 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 about 3 minutes so it softens a bit.
How to cut butternut squash
To make this butternut squash soup recipe, it is important to cut the butternut squash. After you wash and peel it, cut it half lengthwise, remove the seeds and the pulp, and cut it according to the recipe directions. Remember to use a sharp knife!
