Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic minced
- 3 teaspoons fresh ginger minced
- 1 medium yellow onion about 1 ½ cups, chopped
- 5 medium carrots peeled and chopped
- 1 medium apple peeled and chopped
- 5 cups butternut squash peeled and chopped (1 medium-sized squash)
- 1 Tablespoon fresh sage chopped
- 32 oz vegetable broth
- 1 cup canned coconut milk I used full-fat
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon Turmeric
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- pinch of ground nutmeg
- pinch of cayenne pepper optional
- additional coconut milk, roasted pepitas and fresh sage for serving
Instructions
- Add olive oil to a large dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, onion, carrots and apple to the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until everything begins to soften, about 7 minutes.
- Add salt, turmeric, pepper, nutmeg and cayenne (if using). Cook another minute, stirring constantly.
- Add squash, sage, vegetable broth and coconut milk to the pot. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until vegetables are very soft, about 30-40 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender to puree soup to a smooth consistency. If you do not have an immersion blender you can transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth. This method will require a bit of cooling time and caution. If you let the soup cool down before blending, place it back on the stove on low heat for a few minutes to warm it up before serving.
- To serve, ladle into bowls and drizzle with additional coconut milk (if desired), pepitas and black pepper.
Notes
- To save time, buy pre-cut butternut squash at the grocery store or use frozen butternut squash cubes!
- Store the soup in an airtight container in the fridge for 4-5 days or freeze it for up to 3 months in freezer-safe containers. Thaw frozen soup in the fridge overnight, then reheat on the stovetop over medium heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally to warm evenly.
