Ingredients
UnitsScale
1 medium butternut squash (about 2.5 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cubed
2 apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and chopped
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
4cups vegetable broth
1/2cup canned coconut milk or heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss butternut squash and apples with olive oil, salt, and pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 25–30 minutes, until tender and lightly browned.
In a large pot, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
Add the roasted squash and apples to the pot along with cinnamon, nutmeg, and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or carefully transfer to a blender in batches.
Stir in coconut milk or cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh thyme or parsley if desired.
Notes
For a richer flavor, roast the garlic along with the squash and apples.
Use different types of apples to vary the sweetness and acidity of the soup.
