Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
This soup is so good, it’ll have you questioning all your previous life choices. Squash? Really? But trust me; it’s like a silky hug for your insides!
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (optional for creamy goodness)
- Fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley) for garnish
Instructions
- First, let’s get that squash nice and roasted. Preheat your oven to 400°F (about 200°C for our metric friends) and toss the chopped butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread it out on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes until it’s tender and caramelized. You know, like your dreams!
- While that’s roasting, heat a large pot over medium heat. Add some olive oil and throw in the chopped onion. Sauté until it’s soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. It’s okay to cry a little—it happens to everyone!
- Once the onions are looking good, add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, dust that pot with cumin and stir it all around like you’re mixing up some magic.
- Add in your roasted butternut squash and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring it all to a gentle simmer and let those flavors mingle like they’re at a reunion party!
- After about 15 minutes, take your trusty immersion blender and blend that soup until it’s very smooth. If you don’t have one, you can use a regular blender—just be careful because hot soup can turn into a surprise volcano!
- Stir in the coconut milk (if using), and season with salt and pepper to taste. Now your soup is not just good; it’s sensational!
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs, and enjoy every spoonful like you’ve just discovered the meaning of life!
