TIPS

Here are some tips to help you to prepare this golden butternut & ginger soup.

  • Creamier Texture: Use more coconut milk for an ultra-smooth consistency.
  • Deeper Flavour: Roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup for a richer taste.
  • Balanced Taste: A squeeze of fresh lime juice before serving enhances the flavours.
  • Spice Boost: Add a pinch of cumin, cinnamon or smoked paprika for extra warmth.
  • Extra Thickness: Blend in a handful of cooked lentils or a small boiled potato.
  • Garnishing Ideas: Top with toasted pumpkin seeds, crushed nuts or fresh coriander.
  • Serving Suggestion: Pair with warm naan, crusty bread or a side of quinoa for a complete meal.

VARIATIONS

  • Spiced Version: Add a pinch of turmeric, curry powder or nutmeg for an extra layer of flavour.
  • Protein Boost: Stir in cooked chickpeas, white beans or tofu for added protein.
  • Nutty Flavour: Blend in a spoonful of cashew or almond butter for extra creaminess.
  • Low-Carb Alternative: Replace butternut squash with roasted cauliflower for a lighter version.
  • Extra Veggies: Mix in roasted carrots, sweet potatoes or bell peppers for added depth.
