Summer is finally here! It has been an unusually mild summer here in East Tennessee. Normally by mid-July I’m camping out in front of the AC to escape the sweltering heat. But this year has been pretty cool. This is the first week that temps are holding steadily in the 90s. I’m hoping it stays nice and hot so our pool will warm up a little.

If you’re like me, you’re up to your ears in summer squash. When I was a kid, my mom breaded it with cornmeal and fried it in canola oil. I mostly thought was slimy and gross. As an adult, I have always just chopped it coarsely, brushed it with olive oil, sprinkled it with salt and pepper and grilled it until deliciously charred. And that’s completely fine because it’s super-yummy that way.

But I’ve had so much grilled squash this year I was ready to change it up. I found this gorgeous Yellow Squash and Curry Stew recipe on myrecipes.com and made just a few adjustments to turn it into this Paleo and Whole30 Creamy Curry Summer Squash Soup. If you’re a soup fanatic like me who likes it all year long, check out my Paleo and Whole30 Five Pepper Soup, Whole30 Potato Leek Soup, and Paleo and Whole30 Creamy Chicken Tomato Soup. They are all light enough for summertime yet still filling and yummy.

I love anything curried. Add some roasted veggies, coconut milk and fresh cilantro, and I’m in hog heaven. I think you will be too. It’s creamy, spicy and full of flavor while still managing to be healthy, Paleo and Whole30-compliant. Yes, pleeeease. Serve it with a side salad or over some Plantain Rice, and you’ve got an amazing Meatless Monday dinner on your hands.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 2.5 lbs. yellow squash coarsely chopped
• 1 lg. yellow onion coarsely chopped
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 4 cloves garlic minced or pressed
• 1 tbsp. coconut oil or avocado oil
• 1 tbsp. curry powder
• 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp. sea salt (plus more to taste)
• 3 cups vegetable or chicken broth, divided
• 1 tbsp. lime juice
• 1 c. coconut milk canned
• 1/4 c. loosely packed cilantro leaves

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven 450°F. Toss the first 8 ingredients together in a large mixing bowl using tongs.
• Spread veggies in a single layer onto a baking sheet.
• Bake for 30-35 minutes or until vegetables are tender and lightly browned, turning everything halfway through with tongs.
• Remove pan from oven. Using an immersion blender or in a high-powered food processor, blend 2 cups of the roasted veggies and 1 cup broth until pureed. (I have both of those blenders, and I usually go with the immersion blender if possible. So easy and minimal cleanup!)
• Heat the puree along with the remaining broth over medium heat until heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
• Stir in the coconut milk until heated through again, 2-3 minutes.
• Add additional sea salt to taste if necessary.
• Divide the remaining roasted veggies into 4 soup bowls.
• Pour the heated soup over the veggies and serve immediately with fresh cilantro leaves;
