Ingredients

For the Soup

  • 2 cups Butternut Squash Peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 medium Yellow Onion Chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth Or chicken broth for non-vegetarian
  • 1 cup Coconut Milk Or heavy cream as an alternative

  • ½ teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To taste

Instructions

Cooking Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel, seed, and cube the butternut squash. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and spread on a baking sheet.
  • Roast the butternut squash for 25–30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  • Add the roasted butternut squash and vegetable broth to the pot. Increase heat to bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Stir in ground cinnamon and nutmeg, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes.
  • Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender. Adjust consistency with more vegetable broth if desired.
  • Stir in coconut milk, taste, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper as needed.
  • Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk or roasted pumpkin seeds.

Notes

For a richer texture, use full-fat coconut milk or heavy cream. Fresh herbs like thyme or sage can be added for extra flavor.
