Method
Preparation and Sautéing
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent.
- Stir in the diced butternut squash and roasted garlic, cooking for a few minutes.
- Pour in vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and add cumin, coriander, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer for about 20 minutes, until the squash is tender.
Blending
- Using an immersion blender, purée the soup directly in the pot until smooth, or carefully transfer it to a blender in batches.
Serving
- Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve the soup warm, garnished with fresh herbs such as parsley or thyme, and enjoy!
Notes
For an added creaminess, consider stirring in a splash of coconut milk or a dollop of yogurt before serving. Experiment with spices like ginger or cinnamon for a unique flavor profile. Don't skip the roasted garlic; it adds a wonderful depth of flavor to the soup.
