Warm and velvety butternut squash soup with coconut milk and aromatic spices, perfect for autumn days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lbs), peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1 cup full-fat coconut milk
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling and dicing the butternut squash into uniform pieces, ensuring it cooks evenly. Chop the onion and mince the garlic to get those aromatic flavors ready for sautéing.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, add the extra virgin olive oil. Once it’s hot, toss in the chopped onions. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they become translucent, releasing a sweet, inviting aroma.
  3. Introduce the diced butternut squash and minced garlic to the pot. Stir everything together for 2-3 minutes, allowing the squash to soak in those delicious onion and garlic flavors.
  4. Now, pour in enough vegetable broth to just cover the mixture. Sprinkle in the ground cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. This is where the soup starts to come alive!
  5. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender. Allowing it to cook slowly will deepen those delicious flavors and aromas wafting through your kitchen.
  6. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until it’s smooth and creamy. If you prefer a bit of texture, feel free to blend to your desired consistency.
  7. Stir in the full-fat coconut milk, creating that luscious, creamy base that makes this soup so special. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary—maybe a dash more salt or a hint of pepper will do the trick!

Notes

Serve with crusty bread or grilled cheese for a comforting meal. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for 3 months.
