Our family absolutely loves healthy soups in the fall and winter seasons and this Creamy One Pot Butternut Squash Soup is one of our favourites. It’s quick and easy to make, it calls for fresh, seasonal ingredients, and my kids eat it up and ask for seconds. Seriously. Many of my readers who also know me personally have been asking me for this recipe for years. Embarrassing as it is, I’m finally sharing it with the world!
One of our favourite things about this recipe is that it’s vegan, which means it’s also dairy-free.

Creamy One Pot Butternut Squash Soup
This Creamy One Pot Butternut Squash Soup is so easy to make and it's the perfect comforting soup for fall! And it's healthy, dairy-free, and vegan too!
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger (or 1 teaspoon powdered ginger)
- 3/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh or dried thyme leaves, finely chopped
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 4 cups vegetable stock (or use chicken stock for a non-vegan soup)
- 3/4 cup coconut milk (or use half and half for a rich, non-vegan soup)
- fresh thyme sprigs, coconut cream (or heavy cream) for garnish
Instructions
-
Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the olive oil.
-
Add the onion, garlic, ginger, salt and pepper, and thyme, and saute until the onion is soft and transparent.
-
Add the cubed butternut squash and toss in the onion mixture.
-
Add the vegetable stock and stir to combine (You might need to add a little more or less stock, depending on the size of your squash. The liquid level should be just slightly lower than the squash).
-
Add the lid to the pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
-
Once the soup reaches a boil turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the butternut squash is very tender when you pierce it with a fork.
-
Remove the soup from the heat and add the coconut milk.
-
Puree with a hand-held immersion blender, or puree in batches in a regular counter-top blender.
-
Serve immediately with a garnish of fresh thyme and some coconut cream or yogurt, or store in airtight containers in the fridge or freezer.

I actually made this soup tonight for supper. It was delicious – savory and delicately flavorful! I used canned coconut milk and not the coconut beverage. I’m going to make a couple more batches tomorrow and freeze them to pull out and reheat on cold winter days. Thank you for this wonderful recipe!
Chrissie says
So glad you liked it! I freeze this soup all the time and it makes the perfect fast lunch!
Carm says

I love butternut squash soup but always felt my recipe wasn’t perfect. This is the best recipe I’ve ever tried. I used coconut milk and fresh ginger. I feel like that made the difference.
Chrissie says
I’m so glad you liked it!! 🙂
Stella Watters says
Thank you for this simple and delicious recipe. I just finished making it and am having my first bowl now. If I could attach a pic, I would 🙂
I’ve been on a bit of a brussel sprout and kale binge lately and tempted to throw in some greens to this. So. I threw in a small handful of chopped blanched kale. Delicious!
Chrissie says
So glad you liked it! 🙂

Fabulous. Left out the ginger but added a splash of Sriracha for some zing. Poured it over a thin slice of Brie cheese to add a velvety, smooth texture. This was delicious, hearty and inexpensive for the amount it made. It was creamy and silky smooth. Thank you! Best Butternut Squash soup I’ve made.
