This was delicious! I added carrots, mini yellow potatoes, lots of spices. Thyme, basil, salt, pepper, Rosemary. I used two bell peppers. I left it chunky. I had to add extra coconut milk and vegetable broth. With all the Vegetables it wasn't enough. I cooked it on high for four hours. Then turned it to low and cooked it for two more hours. The Vegetables were perfectly cooked! Not hard or soggy. With all the spices, flavors, and Vegetables I put in. It was amazing and so delicious! I will make it again. My family loved it too! Thank you for the recipe.

I’m wondering if anyone has substituted almond milk for the coconut milk? I’m ready to start the crockpot but really don’t care for coconut milk. Help!

This recipe has no flavour if you follow as is. I added 1/2 tsp salt, doubled the pepper and Italian seasoning and added a pinch of red pepper flakes, along with an extra cup of broth. It turned good with the changes.

I combined this soup with another recipe and used light coconut milk, frozen spinach, red/yellow/orange mini peppers (didn't have green),frozen butternut squash (for ease of prep), and added gnocchi and chopped asparagus. I left everything chunky except the squash which I pureed in the high speed blender. Delicious and creamy. This is a nice way to use what you have on hand-so many variations are possible.Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Absolutely delicious! All the ingredients worked perfectly together. I minced the garlic but otherwise followed the recipe exactly. One of my new favorite soups!

I’m anxious to try this soup but is it possible omit the coconut oil? I don’t see the need for it in this recipe and was curious if anyone else omitted it as well. Im trying to do oil free as much as possible.

I really like the idea of this recipe! Love the peppers and chickpeas and seasonings! I was confused about the garlic - do the halves just stay in and get eaten? I probably would have preferred minced. Additionally, I used softer butternut squash (closer to puréed) because that is what I had, and it ended up sort of stringy. For those who made this with chunks, did they stay as softened chunks or become more purée-like in the end? I also toasted and seasoned the seeds from my butternut squash, and that was a great addition on top!

This recipe didn’t have nearly enough liquid, I had to double the broth and milk.

made this recently! I added diced potatoes as well to make it a little more filling (had to add more liquid because of this). Another reviewer asked what type of coconut milk, I used canned coconut milk from the Thai brand. It has great flavor! I also cheated and used precut butternut squash because I hate cutting them myself :)

Was the coconut milk regular or the full fat in a can?

This soup is delicious! I will admit..I had my doubts with all those healthy things, and I generally don't cook with butternut squash. I made it exactly like you have written, with just a tad of freshly shredded parmesan added on top to serve. It came out thick and perfect for a cold evening.
