Red Kuri Squash Soup [vegan]

This warming red kuri squash soup makes a delicious comforting meal.

Red Kuri Squash Soup | The Flexitarian

This warming red kuri squash soup makes a delicious comforting meal. Topped with kale chips, croutons and a generous grind of pepper. So good!

The base of this soup is made of creamed coconut, vegetable stock and Chinese 5-spice mix. I roasted to red kuri squash first to deepen its earthy flavours. The result is a deliciously aromatic and creamy soup.

Originating from Japan, red kuri squash is an orange-coloured winter squash that has a nutty taste (similar to chestnut) and a smooth and creamy texture. It has a creamy yellow flesh and like most squash is filled with nutritional goodness.

How to make this red kuri squash soup

First, you will need to roast the red kuri squash in the oven for around 40 minutes. While the squash is in the oven you can prepare the rest of the ingredients.

The base is made from onion, garlic, creamed coconut block, vegetable stock and Chinese 5-spice mix.

For toppings, I have added kale chips and sourdough croutons. Both are also cooked in the oven while the red kuri is being roasted.

I bake one to two sourdough loaves every week. I keep any stale leftovers to make croutons or breadcrumbs.

Once the red kuri squash is ready, all you have to do is scrape its flesh out and place it in the saucepan then liquidise the soup. I find it easier to do this directly in the pan with a handheld immersion blender (such as this Kenwood Hand Blender *).

You can then season the soup with lime juice, salt and pepper and adjust its consistency if needed with a little bit more water.

Top the soup with croutons and kale chips before serving.

Here are more soup recipes you may like to try:

  • SWEET POTATO SOUP [VEGAN]
  • CARROT TOP SOUP
  • CURRIED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP [VEGAN]

I hope you enjoy this vegan red kuri squash soup recipe as much as we do. If you do make this recipe, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!

Bursting with flavours this Garlic & Tomato Pasta makes a delicious and easy summer dish that is perfect for this hot weather. You can serve it slightly warm or at room temperature. It is also scrumptious the next day as a cold leftover.

This is an old family recipe that back home we call Pâtes à l’ail. Growing up, my Sicilian great-aunt (yes I am a 1/4 Italian in case you did not know 😉) would make it for us in the summer when tomatoes are at their best. 

Like any recipe that has been passed down through generations, creating a written version of it, involved quite a few phone calls between my mum and one of our cousins. Everyone in the family makes this Garlic & Tomato Pasta from memory, adding their own twist and using approximate quantities of ingredients. My version is even more different as I have added cannellini beans for protein.

You can find the recipe on the blog. Link in my bio.
