This squash soup with Asian flavors was our dinner a couple of days ago. We are not soup people. Nope. Not one bit. But then this squash soup was an exception. All of us in the house were down with a nasty cold and no matter what we did, we could not work up an appetite for normal food. It is usually during these times that i resort to soups as meals.

I was simply not in the mood for a tomato soup and the husband man did not want anything with starch. And in the end, we both agreed something mid way which was this squash soup. Now, this squash soup is a delicate blend of flavors and is perfect for a chilly night. It is vegan, gluten free and gets done in 15 mins flat. No one can say no to such an easy meal, can they?

In case you intend to make a large batch of this soup, feel free to double the ingredients and use a bigger pan.
