This roasted butternut squash soup is creamy, packed with autumn flavors, and surprisingly simple to make. Perfect for cozy dinners or as a starter for Thanksgiving.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for garnish
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: pumpkin seeds, olive oil drizzle, or cream swirl

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel the squash, remove the seeds, and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Toss the cubes with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Roast the squash for 25-30 minutes, or until the pieces are tender and caramelized at the edges.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
  4. Transfer the roasted squash to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth until the squash is just covered. Stir in the cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
  5. Remove the pot from the heat and carefully blend the soup using an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup to a high-speed blender in batches, venting the lid to avoid pressure buildup.
  6. Stir in the coconut milk and return the pot to low heat. Let it warm through for 2-3 minutes. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds, or a swirl of cream. Enjoy warm!

Notes

[‘Roasting the squash caramelizes its natural sugars for a deeper flavor.’, ‘Blend thoroughly for the creamiest texture. Add extra broth if the soup is too thick.’, ‘Double the batch and freeze portions for quick meals later.’, ‘Use fresh spices for maximum flavor.’]
