Coconut Curry Butternut Squash Soup

-- >

Let’s be honest, soups are delicious all year round, but they become especially delicious during the winter season and the colder months leading up to it. Although homemade chicken noodle soup is delicious, you often find yourself hungry for something more. This hearty Coconut Curry Butternut Squash soup will leave you feeling satisfied and full (but still wanting more!). This soup is creamy, savory and a little spicy and will have your taste buds tingling. Blending the soup isn’t mandatory, so if you’re craving something stewy-er, cut the liquid, only blend half and enjoy it over a bed of brown rice or quinoa!
