Vegan Butternut Squash Recipe
When the air starts to get crisp and the nights a little chilly, you better believe I am busting out this vegan Dairy-Free Butternut Squash Soup! Ok maybe even before it gets chilly...what can I say? I love to make soups!
It is such a quick and easy dinner, the leftovers freeze well, and it serves lots of people.
Plus, the longer you let this roasted butternut squash soup simmer the better the flavors, and your home will smell like you slaved away for hours. We both know you didn't, but I'll never tell.
Butternut Squash Soups Ingredients
This vegan soup is so absolutely delicious and perfect for fall! It's freezer friendly, light and lean, and DAIRY FREE!
These are the ingredients you'll need...
- 1 butternut squash peeled and chopped into 1 inch chunks
- 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tsp salt + pepper
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- ½ onion diced
- 1 large apple peeled and diced
- 8 sage leaves
- 3 cups veggie broth
- 2 cups water
- Pinch of red pepper flakes optional
- 3 oz goat cheese leave out for vegan option!
- ¼ cup pepitas
- ⅓ coconut cream if desired
How To Peel and Cut Butternut Squash
I think my favorite way to do this safely and effectively is to peel it with a potato peeler.
Cut off the end of the squash so they are flat and begin peeling.
Slice it lengthwise down the middle and then simply remove the seeds.
Dice and roast!
How To Roast Butternut Squash
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
- With a vegetable peeler, carefully peel your butternut squash
- Cut in half and scoop out the seeds.
- Chop into 1-inch cubes
- Place on a baking sheet and generously season with salt and pepper
- Let butternut squash roast for 30 minutes until tender!
Why Butternut Squash Soup is the Best Fall Soup
There is something so comforting and cozy about enjoying steaming hot homemade soup for lunch or dinner. I also love when I don’t have to feel guilty about enjoying comfort food.
Enter: this dairy-free butternut squash soup! It's warm, inviting, and something about it feels very fancy once you get all your toppings on!
This can be enjoyed with a big green salad or toss in some rice or quinoa to make it a little more hearty.
It’s a favorite around my house and it couldn’t be easier. So grab your wine & let’s get cookin’!
Best Toppings For Dairy Free Butternut Soup
I always love a little something to add texture.
To this soup I add pepitas, or roasted pumpkin seeds, for some crunch. As well as a dollop of goat cheese!
The goat cheese amplifies the creaminess of the soup and the flavor plays so well with the mild butternut squash. However this makes it not dairy-free anymore.
If you'd like to keep it dairy-free simply use Kite Hill almond cream cheese instead!

I really enjoy squash in the late summer and early fall. It's a great transition food and so abundant and easy to find!

Good day! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering
which blog platform are you using for this site?
I'm getting fed up of WordPress because I've had problems with hackers and I'm looking at
alternatives for another platform. I would be awesome if you could point
me in the direction of a good platform.
I pay a visit every day a few web pages and information sites to read articles
or reviews, except this webpage presents feature based content.
