    Ingredients

    onion, celery, oil, butternut squash, salt, pepper, garlic, nutmeg, paprika, veggie stock, coconut milk in bowls
    • Butternut Squash – Make sure you have one large butternut squash that has been peeled and cubed before starting the recipe! Save time by cubing the squash a day or so beforehand.
    • Onion – One small white onion is diced and adds pungent a pungent flavor and fragrance to this soup. You can use any kind of onion such as yellow or red. Using red onion would give this soup flavors that are extra rich.
    • Celery – Fresh celery is a great addition to any vegetable soup! Celery is robust and slightly bitter and rounds out all the other ingredients.
    • Garlic – Fresh cloves of garlic give the best flavors for this soup. I like to use fresh garlic while cooking because it really makes a recipe tastier. You can use ground garlic powder if you cannot locate fresh garlic.
    • Oil – Smooth olive oil is a great neutral plant oil that works with almost any kind of recipe!
    • Seasoning – You will need a blend of salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and grated nutmeg for aromatic notes. These really make the soup taste amazing!
    • Coconut Milk – Be sure to used canned coconut milk to make sure the flavors are neutral and not too sweet. You can also use coconut cream.
    • Broth – Use homemade vegetable stock or storebought veggie broth as a base for this soup. I like to make my broth in bulk and freeze the rest for later.

    For Garnishment

    • Parsley – Fresh parsley is a great addition to this soup as it is a vibrant herb that adds brightness to the soup. Further, the colors of orange and green look great together for serving, too!
    • Pumpkin Seeds – Toasted pumpkin seeds, or pepitas, give this soup a slight nuttiness and crunch that pair well with the smooth and creamy flavors of the butternut squash. You can also use toasted nuts or omit them all together.

    How To Make Roasted Butternut Squash Soup?

    This soup is a wonderful option for the entire family whenever you are wanting to eat a veggie-rich meal alongside your favorite salads or main courses!

    Can I freeze butternut squash soup?

    Yes, this soup is great for meal prep. First, blend the roasted veggies without the coconut milk and freeze the mixture in a clean airtight container in portions for up to three months. Thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator or for a few hours on the counter at room temperature. Reheat puréed mixture and add coconut milk, and nutmeg. Allow the soup to simmer, then garnish, serve, and enjoy.

      This was such a treat, yummy, creamy and warm. Perfect for the season. I wonder if I can roast the veggies and then freeze them to make the soup when butternut squash is not in season.

      I loved the slight smokiness of the roasted butternut squash combined with the coconut milk. It was smokey and creamy at the same time. I will definitely make this again.
