Butternut squash soup is great! Creamy and Rich, most online recipies are great for this, but not the store bought pre-made it is horrible.





You can use vegetable stock instead of chicken, and be sure to add some extra spices to zip it up to your liking because this one come out bland if you don't. Adding a cream like, sour cream or whole milk helps too, but I don't know if you favor dairy products being a vegan.





Good luck! Sorry about your mouth!!What are some good soup recipes for someone who can not chew solids?

1 large onion, chopped


1 tablespoon ground cumin


1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper


1/2 cup chopped cilantro


3/4 cup fresh lemon juice

Bring vegetable stock and lentils to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.


Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in garlic and onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 3 minutes.


Stir onions into the lentils and season with cumin and cayenne. Continue simmering until the lentils are tender, about 10 minutes.

Tomapple Soup





INGREDIENTS


2 tablespoons butter


2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


1 onion, chopped


3 cloves garlic, minced


1/2 apple - peeled, cored, and chopped


1/2 cup chopped carrot


1/4 teaspoon dried basil, or to taste


1 pinch dried thyme


2 cups vegetable stock


1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes


3 ounces tomato paste, or to taste


salt and ground black pepper to taste





DIRECTIONS





Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the onion and garlic in the skillet until they begin to brown; add the apple, carrot, basil, and thyme; reduce heat to medium and continue cooking until the carrots are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the vegetable stock, tomatoes, and tomato paste; season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil; cover and cook at least 20 minutes, stirring frequently to keep the soup from burning on the bottom.


Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway full. Hold down the lid of the blender with a folded kitchen towel, and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a clean pot. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup right in the cooking pot.
