Great for Food Prep

Soup is one of my favourite things to make for winter food prep. It keeps well, it’s healthy and filling and it’s very easy to make. Plus, the varieties are endless. I made this soup for my week 14 food prep and since the flavours only improve the next day, it’s awesome to have on hand for quick, healthy, delicious meals.

Healthy Vegan Red Curry Kabocha Squash Soup for Winter Meal Prep.

Sweet and creamy red curry kabocha squash soup recipe.

Kabocha Squash Soup

Like all of my soup recipes, this red curry kabocha squash soup is as easy as can be to make. Throw a bunch of stuff in a pot, let it simmer, blend it up, done. I’m in love with the sweet flavour the kabocha squash adds to this soup. The sweet squash is balanced out with carrots, garlic, onion, red curry and fresh lime juice, all lending to the classic red curry flavour.

Ingredients

  • 5 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
  • 1 medium white onion, diced (300 g, approx. 2 cups)
  • 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger or 1 tsp dried ground ginger
  • 3 tbsp red curry paste
  • 4 cups vegetable stock
  • 5 cups peeled and cubed kabocha squash (about 1 medium-sized squash or 700 g)
  • 4 cups peeled and chopped carrots (about 8 carrots or 600 g)
  • 1 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1/2 to 1 cup light coconut milk

Instructions

  1. Add the garlic, onion and ginger to a soup pot with a few tablespoons of the vegetable stock and let cook over medium heat until starting to soften.
  2. Stir in the red curry paste, stir well and cook for a few more minutes.
  3. Add the stock, squash and carrot.
  4. Simmer lightly until the squash and carrot are fork-tender, approximately 20-25 minutes.
  5. Carefully add the cooked soup to a blender or use an immersion blender in the pot to blend until smooth. Alternatively, you can leave about 1/3 of the soup behind for a chunkier soup.
  6. Pour the blended soup back into the pot if you used a blender and stir in the fresh lime juice and coconut. Start with 1/2 cup of coconut milk, then add a little more if needed to reach desired thickness.

Notes

The soup thickens up quite a bit next day. To adjust the consistency, stir in some vegetable broth or water.
