Squash, Carrots and Orange Soup Recipe

Gather the taste of fall in your spoon with this pureed soup of carrots, squash, and orange. Pureed soups are easy to prepare and are a warming dish on cool fall and winter evenings.

Choose your favorite winter squash - acorn, butternut, pumpkin, kabocha - and let your taste buds run wild. Most winter squashes have a similar nutty, sweet taste, so this recipe spans across all squashes.

Winter squashes, carrots, and oranges all contain some Vitamin C, which can be a helpful nutrient during cold and flu season. Having a well-balanced, nourishing diet may be even more important than mega-dosing on Vitamin C for fighting off a cold or flu. Luckily, winter squashes contain B vitamins, fiber, and the plant form of Vitamin A.

The coconut milk and stock provide a thick, rich base for this pureed soup. You could have this as a warming breakfast on its own, perhaps with an egg on the side. Or, serve for dinner with a side of leftover protein.
