Mega Beta Carotene Soup
This is pretty similar to my pumpkin coconut curry soup, so I was going to skip posting it, but for posterity, and as an indicator of the flexibility of that recipe, here it is! Last night, this started because I had 1 cup of leftover pumpkin and several large sweet potatoes that had been roasted a few days ago. As I pondered them, I noticed a butternut squash on the counter and was off to the races!
1 butternut squash
3 large sweet potatoes
1 cup pureed pumpkin (you can leave this out)
4 cloves garlic minced
1 medium onion diced
2 T olive oil
5-7 cups faux or real chicken broth
1 can coconut milk
2-3 T curry powder
1 T red pepper
Salt to taste
Bake sweet potatoes and squash whole (slice a few holes in the squash) until soft. Saute the onions and garlic in the oil until translucent. Scoop the meat from the potatoes and squash into your pan with the onion and garlic mixture. Add the pumpkin, broth, and seasonings. Using a stick blender, puree the soup mixture. Allow to simmer over a low/medium heat 15 minutes. Add coconut milk. Here you can put in additional broth if needed. Heat another 5 minutes to let it warm through.
Serve alone or with a dollop of sour cream (real or vegan).

Great Minds Think Alike–but you’ve gone several steps ahead (great, now I want to listen to Steps Ahead) of me. I’ve got a Strategic Winter Squash Reserve in a cold corner of the breakfast nook, Fall farm share leftovers, and this sounds even better than the curried sweet potato soup I made last week.
Thanks!
Mmmmm… I love soup.
This sounds so yummy, I can actually smell it through my computer!
By the way, Happy New year to you and your family! xoxo
Happy New Year, Olivia.
