This irresistibly creamy butternut squash soup is silky smooth, comforting, and packed with cozy fall flavors, perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 yellow onion, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegan)
  • 1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream/half-and-half for non-dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme sprigs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Peel and cube the butternut squash, slice the carrots, chop the onion, and mince the garlic. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in cubed butternut squash and sliced carrots. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened slightly.
  4. Sprinkle cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a gentle boil.
  5. Reduce heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash and carrots are fork-tender.
  6. Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender, or use an immersion blender directly in the pot. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  7. Return the blended soup to the pot and stir in coconut milk. Heat gently for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Taste the soup and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or spices as needed.
  9. Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh thyme or a drizzle of coconut milk, and enjoy!

Notes

[‘If the soup is too thick, add a splash of extra broth or water to reach your desired consistency.’, ‘Let the soup cool slightly before blending to avoid accidents.’, ‘Roasting the squash and carrots before cooking can add a deeper flavor.’, ‘Prep vegetables ahead of time to save cooking time.’]
