Butternut Squash Soup
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until tender and lightly caramelized.
- In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Add the roasted butternut squash, vegetable broth, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot.
- Stir in the heavy cream and heat the soup over low heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the butternut squash soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of cream or a sprinkle of ground cinnamon, if desired.
