A rich, velvety soup made with roasted butternut squash, garlic, and spices—perfect for chilly days and loaded with nutrients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus 1 tablespoon for sautéing)
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (960 ml)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (120 ml)
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: toasted pumpkin seeds, olive oil drizzle, freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel, seed, and chop the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Add the peeled garlic cloves to the baking sheet alongside the squash.
  4. Drizzle the squash and garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, tossing to coat evenly.
  5. Roast the squash and garlic for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  6. In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
  7. Transfer the roasted squash and garlic to the pot and stir to combine with the onion.
  8. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  9. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a countertop blender.
  10. Stir in the heavy cream and a pinch of nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  11. Serve the soup warm, garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of olive oil, or fresh parsley.

Notes

[‘Roasting the squash enhances its natural sweetness and depth of flavor.’, ‘Blend carefully in batches if using a countertop blender to avoid spills.’, ‘Adjust the consistency by adding more broth for a thinner soup or simmering longer for a thicker texture.’, ‘This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld together.’]
