Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
This soup ain’t just any soup; it’s velvety, rich, and downright delicious. Pop open your favorite tunes and let’s cook!
Ingredients:
- 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread it out on a baking sheet. Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and caramelized.
- While that squash is roastin’, grab a pot and heat a bit of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the minced garlic and let it cook for another minute, until fragrant.
- Once your butternut squash is done roastin’, add it to the pot with the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth, and throw in that ground cinnamon. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- After simmering, blend the soup until it’s smooth—use an immersion blender if you’ve got one! If not, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until creamy.
- Once blended, stir in the coconut milk and heat through. Add more salt and pepper to taste, if needed.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley if you’re feelin’ fancy. Grab a bowl and get ready to enjoy every single spoonful!
