Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Butternut squash is roasted with olive oil and curry powder until caramelized then pulsed with chicken or vegetable stock until smooth and creamy.
Ingredients
- 1 large butternut squash (peeled, seeded and cubed)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 4 cups chicken broth (or veggie broth)
- ½ cup PLAIN yogurt (optional)
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
- Scatter butternut squash cubes on a foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Drizzle with olive oil then sprinkle with curry powder, salt and pepper. Toss well then roast until tender and caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
- Once squash is roasted, place in a high speed blender and begin pulsing until smooth. Slowly drizzle in the chicken broth along with another pinch salt and pepper.
- If you want to make the soup a bit more rich and creamy, add the plain yogurt to the blender and pulse again until smooth. To warm soup, pour mixture in to a medium sauce pot and heat until warmed through. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
