This creamy, velvety roasted butternut squash soup is pure comfort in a bowl, packed with wholesome flavors and ready in just 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut milk (optional)
  • Optional toppings: pumpkin seeds, croutons, or a drizzle of olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the butternut squash cubes and garlic cloves on the baking sheet. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
  3. Roast for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the squash is tender and lightly caramelized.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until translucent and fragrant.
  5. Add the roasted squash, garlic, vegetable broth, and thyme to the pot. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
  6. Remove the pot from heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If using a regular blender, work in batches and blend carefully.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream or coconut milk (if using) and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve hot, topped with pumpkin seeds, croutons, or a drizzle of olive oil for added flair.

Notes

[‘Roasting the squash is key to achieving rich, caramelized flavors.’, ‘Cut squash into evenly-sized cubes for even cooking.’, ‘Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance flavors.’, ‘Blend thoroughly for a creamy texture or pulse for a chunkier soup.’, ‘Adjust creaminess by adding more or less cream or coconut milk.’]
