    And if you want to make this vegan, no worries!  Just sub with vegetable broth and omit the sausage (maybe add some veggie bouillon flavor) and you’re good to go!

    This amaaaazing squash soup recipe is a part of the Sourdough Bread & Bone Broth Soup Challenge ebook that I created to get you inspired to cook the most soul-satisfying food imaginable… hearty soups and stews with a side of sourdough bread.

    What is the Sourdough Bread & Bone Broth Soup Challenge?

    • It’s a collection of soup and stew recipes with bone broth paired with several sourdough bread (& a gluten-free cornbread) recipes with step-by-step instructions and photos for every recipe
    • The ebook has links to all of the recipes on my blog so you can see even more step-by-step photos and, in some cases, videos to help you create the recipes with ease (especially the sourdough bread recipes!
    • The ebook with allllll the cozy bone broth soups, stews, and sourdough bread recipes is FREE to download

    The recipe for this Thai Pumpkin Butternut Squash Soup is below!

    Ingredients for Thai Pumpkin Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

    • Fresh or frozen butternut squash
    • pure canned pumpkin
    • coconut milk (unsweetened canned)
    • onion, garlic, lemongrass, ginger, red curry paste
    • turmeric (totally optional)
    • chicken bone broth (or sub with vegetable broth)
    • Cajun andouille sausage

    Where to do I find lemongrass and red curry paste?

    Lemongrass is often sold as a paste in the produce section of the grocery stores.  You can also use a fresh lemongrass stalk.  Red Curry paste is found in small glass jars in the “International” food section.  You should easily be able to find both of these items at the grocery store.

    Where do I buy bone broth?

    I’m a Kettle & Fire superfan, and luckily their bone broth is sold in many grocery stores throughout the country, but you can purchase it on their website and get 15% off your first purchase too!

    Time-saving tips:

    Notes

    Ingredient Substitutions

    • If you can't find cajun andouille sausage or you prefer less heat, use mild chicken, turkey, or pork sausage of your choosing.
    • Instead of lemongrass paste, you can use a lemongrass stalk.

    Vegetarian Option

    Use vegetable broth and omit the sausage.  Add a touch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to taste for extra flavor.
