Vegan Butternut Squash Soup

Each September, as the leaves begin to turn, I find myself irresistibly drawn to this velvety acorn squash soup. What keeps me coming back to it year after year is its beautiful simplicity and rich, comforting flavor! Every Sunday, I whip up a generous batch, pair it with a freshly baked crusty baguette, and savor it for lunch or dinner. The best part? I’ve got plenty left over to enjoy throughout the week!

I really hope you’ll give this soup a whirl and share your thoughts with me!

Creamy Vegan Acorn Squash Soup

Save Print Prep time 20 mins Cook time 40 mins Total time 1 hour Author: Parsley Vegan Recipe type: Soup Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

  • 7-9 cups of roasted acorn squash (typically 3 medium squashes)
  • 1L to 1.2L of vegetable stock
  • 1/3 to 2/3 can of coconut cream
  • 3 tbs pure maple syrup
  • 2-3 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • salt and white pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Slice the acorn squashes in half and scoop out the seeds. Place them cut-side down on a baking sheet, prick the skins a few times with a fork, and roast at 375°F for 40 minutes.
  2. When about 10 minutes of roasting time remain, bring the vegetable stock to a gentle simmer with all other ingredients (except the coconut cream).
  3. Let the mixture simmer for 8-10 minutes, then stir in the coconut cream and remove from heat.
  4. Once the squashes are done roasting and feel tender when pierced, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool until you can handle them safely.
  5. Scoop out all of the tender squash flesh and add it to a high-speed blender along with the simmered mixture.
  6. Blend until silky smooth.
  7. Gently reheat before serving and garnish as desired (I love a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds and a swirl of coconut cream).

This acorn squash soup captures all the cozy flavors of autumn while offering a unique twist on the classic butternut version. The thyme adds a lovely herbal note that complements the natural sweetness of the acorn squash beautifully. Give it a try and let me know how you like it!
