About this delicious soup
Butternut squash soup just screams Fall to me. It’s so cozy, comforting and satisfying. But this apple butternut squash soup with curry roasted chickpeas takes it to the next level. It’s sweet yet savory and the chickpeas help to keep you full and satisfied. My favorite way to enjoy this soup is with a couple slices of sourdough bread.
How to cut a butternut squash
Prepping and cutting the butternut squash can quickly become the most time consuming part. With better technique, we can cut down the prep time.
- Using a large and sharp chef’s knife, cut off both ends of the squash.
- Use a vegetable peel to peel the skin all the way around.
- If you have the option, heat the squash in the microwave for a few minutes before cutting. This will make a tremendous difference. Cut the squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Now you can cut the squash into about 1 inch cubes.
Kitchen essentials
- A large pot, 4 qt. or larger is ideal
- An immersion/hand blender. A regular blender will also work.
- A baking sheet
- A silicone baking mat. Highly recommended but not necessary. You can also use lightly greased parchment paper.
Substitutions
- Water and Better than Bouillon vegetable base: can be substituted for vegetable stock in a 1:1 water:vegetable stock ratio. Personally, I find the vegetable base is more flavorful and more affordable.
- Sweet onion: can be substituted with yellow onion, white onion or shallots.
- Extra virgin olive oil: can be substituted with avocado oil.
