Ingredients :

  • 1 medium butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and cubed)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method :

  1. Sauté: Heat olive oil in a large pot. Sauté onion until translucent (5 mins), then add garlic for 1 min.
  2. Season: Add squash cubes, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
  3. Simmer: Pour in broth, bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes until tender.
  4. Blend: Puree the soup until smooth using an immersion blender.
  5. Finish: Stir in coconut milk or cream, adjust seasoning, and reheat gently.

Recipe Notes :

  • Extra Flavor: Roast the squash cubes at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 mins before adding to the pot for a caramelized taste.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a drizzle of chili oil for some heat.
  • Toppings: Try roasted pumpkin seeds, fresh parsley, crispy bacon bits, or a swirl of cream for added texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this soup vegan?

Yes, easily. Replace the heavy cream with coconut milk or a plant-based cream alternative, and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.

Do I need to peel the butternut squash before roasting?

If you are boiling the squash, yes, peel it first. If you are roasting it in the oven, you can leave the skin on, roast it cut-side down, and simply scoop out the tender flesh afterward.

How long can I store butternut squash soup in the fridge?

You can store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 to 5 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
