This creamy roasted butternut squash soup is easy to prepare, bursting with flavor, and provides pure, nostalgic comfort perfect for chilly evenings or family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for richer flavor)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or coconut milk
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley, roasted pumpkin seeds, or a drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Peel and cube the butternut squash, peel and chop the carrots, and mince the garlic. Place the squash and carrots on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Spread them out evenly and roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender, turning halfway through.
  4. While the vegetables are roasting, heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
  5. Add the roasted vegetables to the pot with the onion and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the cinnamon and nutmeg.
  6. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  7. Use a blender or immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a blender, work in batches and be cautious of steam.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk for a creamy finish. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with parsley, pumpkin seeds, or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Notes

[‘Roasting the squash and carrots enhances the natural sweetness and adds depth to the flavor.’, ‘Cut the squash into evenly sized cubes for consistent roasting.’, ‘Freshly ground cinnamon and nutmeg make a noticeable difference in flavor.’, ‘When blending hot soup, allow steam to escape to avoid splatters.’]
