Rich and creamy roasted butternut squash soup

Ingredients:

  • 1 large butternut squash, peeled and diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk (optional, for creaminess)
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the diced butternut squash on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and caramelized.
  2. In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  3. Once the squash is done roasting, add it to the pot with the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth, then add ground cumin and coriander. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  4. Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until smooth and creamy. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender. Be cautious with hot liquids!
  5. If you want a richer soup, stir in the coconut milk at this point and blend again until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh herbs. Pair it with crusty bread for a truly satisfying meal!

Enjoy every warm, comforting spoonful of this roasted butternut squash soup! It’s an ideal choice for cozy dinners or celebrating the beautiful flavors of fall.
