Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized butternut squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: toasted pumpkin seeds, sour cream, chopped fresh herbs
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Place the cubed butternut squash on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is tender and lightly browned.
-
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
-
Add the roasted butternut squash, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir well to coat the squash with the spices.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, to allow the flavors to blend.
-
Using an immersion blender or a countertop blender, puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a countertop blender, blend the soup in batches, being careful not to overfill the blender.
-
Season the soup with salt and pepper, to taste. If the soup is too thick, you can add additional vegetable broth or water to achieve your desired consistency.
-
Serve the spiced butternut squash soup hot, garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
