Ingredients

  • 1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Pumpkin seeds, for garnish

Мethod of preparation

Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the cubed butternut squash with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Spread the squash onto a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly browned.

Meanwhile, in a large pot, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic, cinnamon, and nutmeg, and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.

Add the roasted butternut squash to the pot along with the vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, puree the soup until smooth. Stir in the coconut milk and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with pumpkin seeds for a delightful crunch.

This Golden Autumn Soup is not just a dish; it's an experience. Each bite transports you to a world where the warmth of the spices dances with the sweetness of the squash, creating a harmony that is both nourishing and immensely satisfying.
