- 1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 medium carrots, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup coconut milk or heavy cream
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the cubed butternut squash, vegetable broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20–25 minutes, or until squash is very tender.
- Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or transfer to a blender in batches.
- Stir in coconut milk or cream and simmer for 2–3 more minutes.
- Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm with crusty bread or a drizzle of cream.
Notes
- Roasting the squash before simmering adds extra depth of flavor.
- Use coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- Add a pinch of cayenne for a spicy kick.
