Creamy Curry Butternut Soup
Creamy Curry Butternut Soup
- 1 butternut squash, peeled, de-seeded and chopped into cubes
- 1 box veggie broth
- 1 can lite coconut milk
- 4 cups navy beans (or about ~3 cans, drained)
- 2 celeries, chopped
- 2 carrots, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, pressed
- 2 tbsp yellow curry powder
- 1/2 tbsp garam masala (or you could mimic this with pinches of nutmeg, all spice and/or
- innamon)
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1/3 cup whipping cream
Combine everything but cream in a large crockpot. Set to low and simmer for 4 hours. Then stir in cream and stick-blend in the crockpot until smooth.
[Note: You could also make this in a big stock pot, and you could use a traditional blender to cream if you don't have a stick blender.]
Serve with a dollop of yogurt and shredded cheddar cheese.

did you use the uncooked beans?? any prep needed before popping them in?
No the beans were already cooked
thank you! yum! (I might be drooling a little)
I have al of the ingredients… I must make this this weekend.
or right now
This looks so delicious, and I love how it’s relatively healthy compared to most butternut squash soups. I’ve been meaning to make one, but so many of them have WAY too much cream and butter!
About how many servings will this make? It looks delicious!
Unfortunately I have no idea because it was served at a big party. It filled my 7 quart crockpot about 3/4 of the way up, so maybe 5 quarts?
Hey Kath, if I roast the butternut squash before putting into the crock pot, I could probably just skip the blending step, right? I feel like you may have commented on this in an earlier post….
Hmmm..that would definitely help but I think the other veggies and beans need to be blended too..
I want to make this soon! Thanks for posting the recipe.
How many ounces was the box of veggie broth. I used 4 cups of a water and a bullion cube. It worked fine for me, but I’m just curious what you used.
It was a normal WF brand veggie broth – I think 4 cups? Whatever those standard box sizes are!
first time reading your blog and so far so good! I can’t wait to try this soup for a new cozy change!
Just wanted to tell you how delicious this soup recipe was. It really hit the spot on a cold fall Oklahoma night. I love your blog and I’ve been following you for a couple of years now. Keep up the good work.
A vegan modification, and one for those without crock pots:
- Sautee 1/2 onion (Kath, you can omit this!) in 1 T olive oil for a few minutes, then add the garlic, celery, carrots, and 1 peeled, chopped apple. Continue cooking until onion is soft and translucent.
- Add all the other ingredients (I used cumin, cloves, cinnamon, and a little extra black pepper instead of Garam Masala), and let cook until the onions are soft.
- Stir in 1/3 cup plain, unsweetened soymilk and blend.
Still delicious!
No onions are allowed on this blog!!!
I just made this and it is incredible! I did not have garam masala so i used pumpkin pie spice (i like EVERYthing to taste like pumpkin pie!). I also added a bit of chopped onion and just used 1/2 a cup or so of whole milk since that’s what I had. Thank you, thank you for the perfect soup to warm up this chilly MA day!
Curious if you’ve made this without the cream for a vegan option? Sounds so good, want to try it!!
I haven’t, but I’m sure it’s still good
When you say “2 celeries” do you mean 2 entire heads of celery (with multiple stalks each)?
I mean 2 individual stalks – not 2 heads. Sorry for the confusion!
hello
Could you suggest a substitute for the coconut milk ?
Thanks.
2.5 cups of any other milk you like – cow’s, soy, almond, rice
