As always, let’s start by gathering our ingredients. In this case, our ingredients are so simple. All you need for this healthy butternut squash soup is a butternut squash (obviously), two apples, I like Granny Smith apples for this butternut squash and apple soup. You also need a yellow onion, vegetable broth, cinnamon and allspice.

If you don’t have your own homemade vegetable stock, or if you prefer not to open a large container for a small amount I like to ‘cheat’ sometimes and use this. It’s an easy way to add a little vegetable broth without being wasteful. You can find it online here: vegetable broth.

Now it’s time to break out the Ninja Foodi. This thing is amazing! It is a pressure cooker, slow cooker, air fryer, dehydrator, and more all in one. It makes meal prep a breeze and last-minute cooking ideas easy. If you don’t have one yet you can get it online here: Ninja Foodi.

How to Make Butternut Squash Soup

First, you will need to prep your veggies and apples.

  • Go ahead and peel, remove the seeds, and cube your squash.
  • Also, peel and chop the apple and slice the onion.
  • Place these ingredients into the bowl of the Foodi with 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp allspice and two cups of vegetable broth (or 2 cups water and 2 tsp vegetable broth seasoning).
  • Do not add the coconut milk yet.
  • Secure the pressure cook lid to the Foodi and select the pressure button. 
  • Select ‘Hi’ and set the time to 10 minutes.
  • Press Start.

The Ninja Foodi will come to pressure and then the clock will start. After 10 minutes you can quick release the pressure and when safe, you may remove the lid. 

Next, we will need an immersion blender to make this creamy butternut soup. This is the one that I have. It’s simple and gets the job done. You can find it online here: immersion blender.

Since I do not want to damage the Ninja Foodi pot, I only use the immersion blender a little bit in the pot to gently mash up the squash, onion, and apples. Next, transfer your butternut squash with apple soup to a smaller container and use the immersion blender to fully blend until smooth.

At this point, you can opt to add coconut milk to the entire batch. But I prefer to spoon a bit directly into my bowl for each individual serving. You can use either coconut milk or coconut cream. The cream is thicker, so it is completely up to you. Both are delicious in this dairy free butternut squash coconut soup.

    Would rather use plain Greek yogurt instead of coconut cream or cream, I’ll have to experiment with amount, probably will try one cup, added at the end.

    1. That would probably work just as well! I use the coconut cream because I am dairy free, but Id love to hear how it is with Greek yogurt! xoxo
