Description

This warm and creamy Butternut Squash Soup is lightly spiced and perfect for a cozy fall or winter meal. Nourishing and flavorful, it’s ideal as a starter or a comforting main dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger (optional)
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: croutons, pumpkin seeds, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of cream

Instructions

  • Prepare the Squash: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the butternut squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread them on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized, turning halfway through.
  • Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant.
  • Add Broth and Spices: Stir in the roasted butternut squash, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger (if using). Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Blend the Soup: Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth. Return the blended soup to the pot.
  • Stir in Coconut Milk or Cream: Add the coconut milk (or heavy cream) to the soup and stir to combine. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with croutons, pumpkin seeds, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of cream.
