Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

This soup is so creamy and delicious, it could rival your favorite cozy blanket on a chilly day.

Ingredients

• 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 cup coconut milk
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. First things first – let’s get that butternut squash roasted! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and toss the squash cubes in olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 25-30 minutes until they’re gloriously golden and tender.
2. While the squash is doing its thing in the oven, grab a large pot and heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and sauté until they’re soft and fragrant – just like your favorite candle!
3. Now, it’s time to let the flavors mingle! Toss in the cumin and nutmeg, and stir them around for about a minute. This will make your kitchen smell like a super fancy restaurant.
4. When the squash is all roasted and lovely, add it to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15 minutes. Let all those delicious flavors hang out together!
5. Once the soup is done simmering, remove it from the heat and blend until smooth. You can use an immersion blender or transfer it in batches to a traditional blender - just watch out for that splatter zone!
6. Pour in the coconut milk, stir it up, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. This is the moment where you taste it and think, “Wow, I’m a wizard in the kitchen!”
7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro if that’s your jam, and enjoy the creamy goodness of your butternut squash masterpiece!

And there you have it! A bowl full of happiness that’ll warm your soul and fill your belly. Dive in, slurp away, and let the compliments roll in!
