The Recipe: Creamy Vegan Butternut Squash Soup
A delicious, soul-warming fall recipe made with butternut squash, ginger, and turmeric.
Servings: 6 | Prep Time: 10 mins | Cook Time: 45 mins
Ingredients
· 1 large butternut squash, seeds removed, halved and scored
· 1 yellow onion, peeled and quartered
· 3 heads garlic, tops sliced off
· 3 sprigs thyme
· 1 tsp paprika
· ½ tsp Salt & pepper
· 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
· 2 ½ cups vegetable broth
· ½ tsp minced ginger
· ½ tsp turmeric
· 1 cup full fat coconut milk, or vegan heavy cream
For Garnish:
· Pumpkin seeds
· Fresh thyme sprigs
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place the squash (cut-side up), onion, garlic, and thyme on the baking sheet. Drizzle lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika, salt, and pepper. Roast for 40 minutes, or until the squash is fully tender. If the onion or garlic are done earlier, remove them and let the squash cook for an additional 10-15 minutes as needed.
3. Scoop the soft squash flesh from the skin into a large pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic from its skins and add it to the pot, along with the roasted onion (discarding thyme stems), vegetable broth, ginger, turmeric, and coconut milk.
4. Using an immersion blender, blend everything directly in the pot until completely smooth and creamy. Add a little more broth if you prefer a thinner consistency.
5. Warm the soup over medium heat if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with pumpkin seeds and a fresh sprig of thyme.
