This easy Butternut Squash Soup with Ginger and Orange juice is warming, perfectly smooth and super silky. It has a zesty flavour from freshly grated ginger and orange juice and an earthy, warming note from curry and turmeric that makes it far more interesting than ordinary butternut squash soup.
 
It’s super creamy. If you are following a plant-based Paleo or Whole30 diet, use coconut oil instead of butter and use plant-based milk or coconut milk instead of cream. This would also make this soup vegan!

I love the fruity sweetness the fresh orange juice adds and that touch of heat from the ginger really purs this soup in a league of its own. 

How to make this easy Butternut Squash Soup Recipe: 

 
I sauté onions, then add aromatics like ginger and garlic along with some warming spices. Then I add the cubed butternut squash, which is rich in the disease-fighting antioxidants beta-carotene and vitamin C. I also add a carrot, a potatoe and some celeriac, which is the trifecta of all German soups. Then we deglaze with some white wine and simmer it with vegetable stock and orange juice, which adds a pop of bright flavor and nutrients.
 
Finally, I puree the butternut squash soup until it reaches a perfectly creamy consistency  As a finishing touch, I stir in some cream. For dairy-free use coconut cream and use coconut oil for sauteeing.

Serving suggestions for butternut squash soup: 

 
I like to top my soup with a swirl of tangy Greek yogurt or crème fraiche, fresh parsley, orange zest, chili powder and some toasted pumpkin seeds for a delightful crunch!

MAKE AHEAD AND FREEZE FOR LATER

This butternut squash soup freezes well. I often make a double batch of this recipe, pour it into Mason jars and freeze it for easy lunches.
