Instructions
- Melt the Country Crock® Plant Butter in a large pot. Add the onions, curry powder and salt, and cook for 5 minutes, or until lightly browned. Stir in celery, carrot, potato, and butternut squash.
- Pour in the vegetable stock, but only enough to cover the vegetables. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover pot and simmer for 40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
- While the vegetables are cooking, prepare the Coconut Cilantro topping. In a small bowl, stir the coconut chips, cilantro, lemon zest, red pepper flakes, and salt together. Use your fingers to break up the lemon zest if it clumps together.
- When the vegetables are cooked, transfer the soup to a blender, add the Country Crock® Plant Cream, and blend until very smooth.* If soup is very thick, pour in more vegetable stock - in small amounts at a time - until soup is thinner but still creamy and velvety.
- Serve soup hot and topped with coconut cilantro topping.
