A creamy, velvety roasted butternut squash soup with warm, nutty flavors—perfect for fall comfort food.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed (about 4 cups)
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large yellow onion, peeled and quartered
  • 34 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or substitute with heavy cream or Greek yogurt)
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel and cube the butternut squash, slice the carrots, quarter the onion, and peel the garlic cloves.
  3. Arrange the squash, carrots, onion, and garlic on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat and spread evenly. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until golden and tender.
  4. Once cooled slightly, transfer the roasted vegetables to a blender. Add 2 cups of vegetable broth and blend until smooth.
  5. Pour the blended mixture into a large pot. Add the remaining vegetable broth and coconut milk. Stir to combine and heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 10 minutes.
  6. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
  7. Ladle into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds. Serve warm.
