Ingredients

  • 1 medium-sized pumpkin, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 medium-sized butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for garnish

Instructions

Follow these easy steps to create your delicious Roast Pumpkin & Butternut Squash Soup:

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the pumpkin and butternut squash cubes with olive oil, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well coated.
  3. Spread the cubes evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, heat a large pot over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Once the pumpkin and squash are roasted, add them to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Using an immersion blender or transferring to a blender, blend the soup until smooth. If using a blender, be sure to allow steam to escape to avoid any splattering.
  7. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary. For a creamier texture, you can stir in a splash of coconut milk or heavy cream at this stage.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs for a vibrant touch!
