Butternut Squash Carrot Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Welcome to Foodie Friday! I’m linking up with Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, Esther from Chocolate Runner Girl + Jess from Hello To Fit to create awesome healthy recipes each week! This week’s theme = Garlic, because it’s National Garlic Month!

Super excited to announce that I now own…an immersion blender! <3 My best friend and partner in crime (we’ve been facebook-married for almost a decade, so obviously it’s super-srs) somewhat recently obtained two of em’, so he gave one of them to me!

I have lots of wonderful plans for it, but first off, can I just say how magical they are?! Yay for all kinds of delicious soup! (In my current semi-crippled state, liquids were especially welcomed.)

The recipe I’m sharing isn’t exactly centered around garlic, but it does use garlic! It’s super tasty + nutritious and quick to make, so I’d like to think you’ll forgive me. :]

You may have seen a preview way back when (aka over a month ago)–what can I say? I like to plan ahead!

This is what I’m gonna show you how to make today!

My expression is only because we have a friend (former housemate <3) who claims that that bowl is in fact a cup. She uses it to drink a bowl/cup of coffee every morning. I assure you this is amazingly delicious!

The one we made this time around really just involved throwing together a ton of the things that we liked. Long long ago, we deduced that if I were to be a vegetable, I’d probably be a butternut squash because I have a butt (sound reasoning, m’friends!). We decided to throw in a monstrous carrot too, to up the vitamin A content, since that’s good for your vision, immune system, and cell growth! :]

The veggies at the Asian market we frequent may or may not be mutants. Please note the size of that carrot (yes, that’s a carrot) as compared to the giant kitchen knife next to it. Or that 12 oz. jar of coconut oil. This carrot means business.

This was the first time I’d ever used an immersion blender, but my goodness, those things are magical! <3 Yay for super simple and flavorful soups!

    1. Thanks, Zaria! :D I hope you like it! :] I’ve never tried carrot soup, so I may have to do that sometime! :P

  23. That carrot is MASSIVE! I love butternut squash soup and never would have thought to add carrots. That’s a pretty smart move. Oh, and I like to add cayenne pepper to my soup – gives it a nice kick.

  24. This looks absolutely delicious, Faffah! I am going to bookmark this recipe. I have a butternut squash soup recipe that includes a jalapeno for a little heat, which I like. I may throw that in this one too. I like the idea of coconut milk.
