Ingredients
For the roasted vegetables:
- 3 lb butternut squash (1 large or 2 small) 1.5 kg
- 2 carrots, cut into large chunks
- 1 onion, peeled and cut in half
- 1 head garlic, with 1/4 inch sliced off the top to reveal the cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
For the soup:
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 teaspoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- pinch nutmeg
- 1/2 can coconut milk about 200 ml
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 410F (210C). Place butternut squash, flesh side up on a baking sheet with the carrots, onion, and garlic. Drizzle all of these with olive oil, season with salt and pepper.
- Flip the butternut squash so flesh is facing down. Roast for 50-60 minutes or until butternut squash and carrots are fork tender.
- Cool vegetables slightly for easier handling. Using a big spoon, scoop out the flesh of the butternut squash into a large saucepan. Add the carrots and onion, and squeeze the roasted garlic out of the peel into the pot.
- Add vegetable stock, maple syrup, and spices for the soup. Bring to simmer on medium high heat. Simmer for 5 minutes, then use an immersion blender and blend the soup until smooth.
- Stir in coconut milk, simmer for 1-2 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Ingredient notes: If you aren't vegan, you can substitute the maple syrup for honey, and the coconut milk for heavy cream.
- You can also use acorn, kabocha or regular pumpkin instead of the butternut squash.
- Storing leftovers: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. You can thaw in the fridge overnight, or place the whole big block of frozen soup in a saucepan and heat on low until melted.
- To reheat soup, I either heat on low in a small saucepan, or in the microwave for about a minute and a half or so, stirring every 30 seconds so it heats evenly.
- Recipe tips:
- Preheat the oven well before roasting, when you roast at high temperature the vegetables caramelize and develop that rich sweet flavor.
- If soup is too thick, add a splash of water or more coconut milk. This also goes for leftovers, if the soup thickens up, add a little water when reheating gently.
- If soup is too thin, add less coconut milk, or add 1 tablespoon of cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup of water and let it simmer for a couple of minutes
