Take a look at this beautiful dish! The vibrant color alone makes it inviting.
Ingredients
- 2 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup coconut milk (for creaminess)
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for sautéing
- Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley), for garnish
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic, ginger, and nutmeg, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add the diced butternut squash to the pot and mix well. Cover the pot to let the squash steam for about 5-7 minutes.
- Pour the broth over the squash, bringing it to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender.
- Once cooked, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup to a regular blender, in batches if necessary.
- After blending, stir in the coconut milk for added creaminess. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs for a touch of color and flavor.
