Ingredients:
– 1 large butternut squash (peeled and seeded)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 large onion (diced)
– 4 cloves garlic (minced)
– 1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger
– 1 teaspoon turmeric
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 4 cups vegetable broth
– Salt and black pepper to taste
– Sprigs of fresh thyme and basil for garnish
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes and toss them in one tablespoon of olive oil. Arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes, or until they’re tender and slightly caramelized.
-
Meanwhile, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, and grated ginger, and cook until the onions are translucent and the mixture is fragrant.
-
Stir in the turmeric and cumin, followed by the roasted butternut squash. Pour in the vegetable broth, and let it simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until it’s silky and smooth. Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the soup to a countertop blender and puree in batches.
-
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed. If you find the soup too thick, add a bit more vegetable broth.
Serve the soup warm, garnished with fresh thyme and basil leaves. This butternut squash soup is an autumn classic that pairs perfectly with a crusty piece of bread.
Enjoy the perfect blend of warmth, comfort, and nutrition in a bowl!
