Creamy Butternut Squash, Carrot and Ginger Soup (Paleo, AIP)

Creamy butternut squash, carrot and ginger soup (paleo, AIP) - A Squirrel in the KitchenButternut squash, carrots, and fresh ginger come together in this soup to form a wonderful and fragrant blend that will warm your tummy and tickle your tastebuds any time of the day! You might be familiar with butternut squash soup, but have you ever added fresh ginger? Ginger is well known for alleviating gastro-intestinal distress. But that isn’t the only benefit of this mighty little spicy root. Ginger is also a natural anti-inflammatory, just like turmeric. And I love adding anti-inflammatory food to my diet. It is especially important if you are healing from an autoimmune disease, just like me.

The recipe calls for fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced. Here is a quick tip on how to peel ginger effortlessly. You can simply scrape the edge of a spoon or a small paring knife against the piece of ginger to peel off the skin. Then proceed to sliced the root thinly using a paring knife and a wooden board. You can store the extra ginger you may have in a sealed container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks if the peel is still on.

To transform this soup into a hearty meal, I like to add oven roasted beets. This step is optional though and you can skip it altogether or add any other roasted vegetables you like. I just love the beautiful and vibrant colors in this dish!

    Sophie, I just found your site from Pinterest AIP searches and I”m so glad to find you! Thank you for the beautiful pictures and easy print buttons for your recipes. That helps so much. I have Hashimoto’s as well and had part of my thyroid removed in 2014. Since then it’s been a mental and emotional wrestling match with my own commitment of staying away from gluten (now GF as of 1 year ago!) and especially sugar (still working on that one) and trying not to be overwhelmed with this new cooking lifestyle and feeding my family (3 picky young girls included!) things they like too. Your site is motivating to dig in again! Thank you! (I’m from Colorado too!)

      Hello regina,

      Thank you so much for your positive feedback 🙂 I understand with the 3 picky eaters because I also have 3 teenage girls! It is a challenge! I am glad that finding my website gave you a boost to start again AIP. That is exactly why I am blogging; to help people on their way to health and happiness! Good luck and best wishes.

      You can cook the vegetables in the Instant Pot on high pressure for 10 to 15 minutes. Good luck!
