How to Make Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Coconut Cream + White Fish

Jump to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

Cooking a creamy butternut squash soup is quickly becoming one of our favourite meals here. When you add a good helping of white fish, this can easily be a hearty dinnertime meal!

Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

We grew our own butternut squash this past year in the garden and they taste wonderful. Right now my favourite is the Butternut-Orange, which has a very dark orange flesh. You can almost taste the orange in the soup!

Making a creamy butternut squash soup comes when you add coconut cream cans to cook with the butternut. Don’t worry if you don’t enjoy the taste of coconut, you can scarcely taste it in this coconut cream.

Cooking White Fish

Not only is this creamy butternut squash soup to die for, but adding a good helping of butter soaked white fish adds another level of flavour to this soup!

What You May Need

Pots and pans (cast iron is quickly becoming my most favourite!)

Food Processor or immersion blender

Soup ladle

Peeler

Directions for Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

When making this soup, start by dicing onion and garlic fine. I use our food processor for this as it finishes the job in a fraction of the time it would take me to cut it by hand.

Peel the butternut squash and cut it in half to remove the pits.

Next, dice the peeled butternut squash into cubes.

Heat up oil in a pot and add onions to sauté until translucent on high heat.

Add the garlic and sauté it with the onions for another 2 minutes on medium-high.

Next, add the butternut squash cubes and sauté for another 10 minutes on medium-high.

Once the butternut squash is semi-soft, add the cans of coconut cream.

Cook soup for about 15 minutes on medium (or until the butternut squash is soft enough to puree).

In the last batch, add the cilantro and juice from a lime in with the soup to puree together.

Directions for Cooking White Fish

Pour all soup back into the pot, stir together and enjoy!

Start by heating oil in a pan. Once hot, add the fish to the pan with the skin facing down and cook on medium-high heat.

When the bottom edges of the fish gain colour (more distinct white instead of of translucent), the fish is ready to flip.

Flip the fish only once and then add the butter into the pan.

Tilt the pan towards you and with a spoon baste the the fish in butter continuously for several minutes

Cook the fish until the bottom edges gain colour and then remove from the heat.
