Follow The Directions

01

Step
1 mins

In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, melt coconut oil and butter together over medium heat. (1 minute)

02

Step
7 mins

Add diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. This builds the aromatic base of the soup.

03

Step
5 mins

Introduce the cubed banana squash, sweet potatoes, and Granny Smith apple to the pot. Stir well to coat with the onion-garlic mixture. Cook for approximately 5 minutes, allowing the vegetables and apple to begin to soften and their flavors to meld.

04

Step
1 mins

Pour in the chicken broth, ensuring the vegetables are just covered. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

05

Step
1 mins

Add the chopped fresh basil, curry powder, and crushed bay leaf. Stir gently to combine. (1 minute)

06

Step
20 mins

Simmer the soup for 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes and apple are tender and easily pierced with a fork. (15-20 minutes)

07

Step
1 mins

Remove the pot from heat and carefully purée the soup using an immersion blender until smooth and velvety. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender, being cautious of hot liquids.

08

Step
1 mins

Taste and adjust seasonings with salt and pepper as needed. If desired, stir in coconut milk for extra creaminess and richness. (1 minute)

09

Step

Serve hot, garnished with a sprig of fresh basil or a swirl of coconut milk.

For a smoother texture, consider straining the soup after puréeing.
Adjust the amount of curry powder to your preference. Start with 1 tablespoon and add more to taste.
The type of apple can be varied. Honeycrisp or Fuji apples also work well, providing a different level of sweetness.
This soup freezes beautifully. Allow to cool completely before transferring to freezer-safe containers.

    I was a bit skeptical about the green apple, but it works perfectly! It adds a lovely tartness that balances the sweetness of the squash and sweet potato.
