Pineapple Curry Soup

Every once in a while my husband will look at the list of dishes I’ve picked out to create for our blog and give me a “who is going to eat that” look. Pineapple curry soup was one of those dishes. Every once in a while he is right, but for the most part I get to smirk in delight when he agrees that the dish is a delicious combination.

This pineapple curry soup is the perfect combination of spicy with a hint of sweet. The butternut squash and mushrooms make it hearty and the spices make it warming. It’s the kind of dish that reminds me of pumpkin carving and crisp fall evenings.

How to Peel Butternut Squash

Butternut Squash looks intimidating, but it’s quite easy to peel. All you need is a big knife and a sharp vegetable peeler. First, cut off both ends of the squash. Next, use your vegetable peeler to peel the squash just like you would any other vegetable. Finally, cut the squash in half (long ways) and scoop the seeds out from the middle. I like using a spoon to scoop the seeds out. Finally, you’ll be ready to cube your Butternut Squash.

Vegan Butternut Squash & Pineapple Curry Recipe

The real question is, why wouldn’t you make a butternut squash and pineapple curry vegan? This recipe is vegan, gluten free, and perfect for fall evenings. I haven’t tried it in an Instapot – but I have a feeling it would work wonderfully. If anyone tries is out please let me know how it turns out. From our kitchen to yours, we hope you enjoy!
