This creamy, velvety soup is the perfect antidote to chilly days, packed with roasted butternut squash, cinnamon, garlic, and a splash of cream for a comforting and nutritious meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 cups butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: fresh parsley, pumpkin seeds, croutons, or a drizzle of cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Peel, seed, and cube the butternut squash into roughly 1-inch pieces. Toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread evenly on the baking sheet.
  3. Roast the squash for about 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
  4. In a large soup pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute.
  5. Add the roasted squash to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  7. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, work in small batches and be cautious with hot liquid.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and adjust the seasoning as needed. Heat gently without boiling.
  9. Ladle into bowls and garnish with your favorite toppings, like parsley or pumpkin seeds.

Notes

Roasting the squash adds depth of flavor. Customize the consistency by adjusting the broth. Add toppings like crispy pancetta, toasted pumpkin seeds, or a swirl of sour cream for extra flair.
