This hearty soup is sweet and savory; and, like most soups, it gets better with age. So, make a batch of this on a Sunday and enjoy it through the week (if you can keep yourself from slurping it all up in one sitting!). This recipe was originally posted on That Paleo Couple.
The History Of Vegetable Soup:
Vegetable soup dates to ancient history. The Spartans ate a thin vegetable soup named “black broth” in ancient times. In central Appalachia, vegetable soup, also referred to as winter vegetable soup and country soup, is a traditional staple food and common dish during the months of December–February amongst Appalachian highlanders.

Hi Jill-
Hope that you are having a happy and healthy new year!
Thanks for this recipe. Looks great. One question- have you made it without the coconut cream? How is it without it ?
Thanks and take care, Christine
Hi Christine, not sure how it tastes without the coconut cream but if you try it would you let me know?
I’ve made this without the coconut cream and it tastes great. I also had to sub out the butternut squash one time for sweet potatoes and it still works. Great soup. Thank you!
