Vegan Butternut Squash and Apple Soup
Vegan Butternut Squash and Apple Soup is a thick, creamy and sweet soup topped with a dollop of coconut cream and brimming with fall flavours!
I’ve written this introduction over about 5 times. I’m going to try and blast through my writer’s block and get right into this Vegan Butternut Squash and Apple Soup. If you’ve ever had writer’s block, you know how it goes.
Pro-cras-tination.
Funny thing is, it’s not that I don’t want to write. I’ve wanted to share this soup for a few weeks now. But sometimes I wonder, hmmm what witty or sarcastically funny joke will I make (you guys do think I’m sarcastically funny right?!). And I get totally lost.
ANYWAY. Before I procrastinate from telling you about the soup, this is literally my new favourite soup next to my mom’s pumpkin soup and my carrot soup. Another beautiful accidental vegan soup, this Vegan Butternut Squash and Apple Soup makes the first sweet soup I have ever tried! Trust me, it’s absolutely delicious. I left mine a little chunky it gave the soup even more body. This is a thick soup which I LOVE. The coconut cream (refrigerated coconut milk or regular coconut milk) on top, tastes heaven sent. The thyme also goes perfectly with the butternut squash and the apples.
When I say sweet, it isn’t overbearing or next to dessert or any of that. It’s more like biting into an apple, only juiced and creamy – does that make any sense at all? Sense or no sense, you’ll definitely love the taste. This Vegan Butternut Squash and Apple Soup would taste great with some croutons or even some toasted bread. Even with a homemade garlic spread to add a beautiful contrast to the sweetness. Speaking of which, I need to whip up some and get right to this again.

Butternut squash has been on my to-do list this fall, and after seeing how awesome yours turned out I am definitely gonna have to make it happen soon! Sounds so good with the apples. 🙂
I’m off to the supermarket this evening to stock up on apples, ready to sample your tasty recipe.
Eeks, I hear ya Jessica, writer’s block is the worst 🙁 I have a bunch of recipes I can ‘t seem to write the posts for lately. I’m glad you shared this soup though! Anything with butternut squash is a winner in my book especially with apples. It looks amazing girl!
Writer’s block: It stinks, doesn’t it!! This soup on the other hand, looks amazing!! I’ve been wanting to try a good butternut squash soup, so thanks for this!! Oh and congratulations on your upcoming wedding! That is SO exciting!! 🙂
Oh, Jessica, I get writer’s block ALL THE TIME! Mostly I just sit there until something (anything) comes to me, but it’s tough sometimes, that’s for sure.
As for this soup, well, you clearly didn’t get ‘food block’ on the day you made this! I love the idea of the apple and also that the soup has so few ingredients. Pinning this one!
I’ve been roasting squash left and right these past couple of weeks. Butternut squash and apple sound like a great combination in a soup. I’m craving a thick soup right now…it’s dark, chilly, and about to rain. Not that I need “atmosphere” to enjoy soup but I could really use a bowl of this!
What a simple and delicious fall soup! I never add apple in the squash soup but it sounds so delicious!
This soup looks so bright and tasty! I love it 🙂
Wow!! This looks amazing and sounds like something I would totally love! I just adore all those festive flavors!! …and this seems like such a good fave next to your mums pumpkin soup!! YUM! Both sound delicious! …and good for you with the good intros… my blog intros are sometimes just terrible. My mums like, Cailee, you can’t always start with, “Happy Monday, Wednesday, Saturday…etc.” hahaha!
