Vegan | Gluten-free | Soy-free

What better way to take advantage of the approaching cool months, than to create special moments with our loved ones, preparing a delicious meal. Although summer is not over yet, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy a delicious creamy soup. 

It’s only a matter of time until our kitchens and our ingredients are permeated with the shades of autumn and invite us to prepare delicious recipes with them. Among all the shades of color this upcoming season brings, orange stands out the most. Probably because many of the produce available this season are related to pumpkin! 

That’s why I’m kicking September with a Vegan Cheesy Squash and Beer Soup.

The recipe- Vegan Cheesy Squash and Beer Soup: 

Traditionally a Cheesy Beer Soup is done with pumpkin and cheese. However, I decided to create my own version with butternut squash and completely vegan; if you don’t have butternut squash, go ahead and make it with pumpkin. I always like to add coconut milk because it gives it a unique creaminess and flavor, but you can customize it with the ingredients you like the most.

The star of this recipe is truly BEER! I’ve always loved experimenting with beer in the kitchen. I just keep getting impressed with how the flavor lingers in dishes like stews, rice and soups, even after it’s been cooked down. For this recipe, make sure to pair it with an ale like pumpkin ale, or a lager like a pale lager. 

This Vegan Cheesy Squash and Beer Soup is ideal as a light lunch or dinner and can be served with any side dish. It can be prepared in less than 45 minutes with ingredients that you can find in any supermarket. However, if you want to take this recipe to a whole other level, make sure to add a few drops of black truffle oil to enhance the earthy flavors and aroma.

Intrigued yet? Let’s get to it!

Essential tips for this recipe:

• Roast the butternut squash in the oven instead of boiling, to notably reduce its water content and get a truly concentrated flavor and sweetness.
• Aromatic herbs like rosemary, thyme, & tarragon added to the butternut squash before roasting, will give a fresh touch to the final result.
• For the beer, go for an ale or a lager.
• If you desire to serve the soup using butternut squash as a bowl, cut the bottom of squash away from the neck of it and clean the insides. Use the remaining butternut squash pieces in this recipe or freeze them for another recipe. Drizzle avocado oil and sprinkle some salt. Bake along with the rest of the ingredients.
