Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup coconut milk (optional for creaminess)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Toss to coat, then roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
- In a large pot over medium heat, add a little more olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute, until fragrant.
- Once the butternut squash is done roasting, add it to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Stir in the cumin, ginger, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
- Stir in the coconut milk for an extra creamy texture, then taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy your warm bowl of deliciousness!
