Creamy, flavourful and comforting Roasted Butternut Squash Soup. Your cold autumn nights are about to feel more homey and warm! This recipe only uses 7 ingredients!
Every year when the first orange leaf falls from the sky, I pull out this recipe and make a big pot of soup for my family. We love serving the soup with some sort of bread for the carb aspect of the meal.
Ingredients rundown
- Small butternut squash. Try to pick one that is consistent in colour and somewhat uniform shape so it’s easier to cut.
- Small yellow onion
- Fresh sage. Butternut squash and sage always seem to be found together. They do make quite the flavour pairing!
- Olive oil and paprika powder for baking the squash, onion and sage.
- Vegetable broth, preferably low-sodium so you can adjust the salt level yourself.
- Canned coconut milk or coconut cream will make the soup even creamier.
To serve (not in picture):
- Toasted bread. I especially love garlic bread or baguette!
- Croutons. You can make homemade croutons by toasting diced bread with a little olive oil.
- Bread buns are okay if they’re toasted, otherwise it might get real soggy real fast.
Steps
First, we’re going to roast the squash, onion, sage, olive oil and paprika.
Next, we’re going to blend the roasted squash etc. and add vegetable broth and coconut milk to make the purée into soup. Don’t forget to season your soup with salt and pepper!
