Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil For sautéing the vegetables.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped Add for flavor.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Add for flavor.
  • 4 cups butternut squash, peeled and diced Main ingredient for the soup.
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder For color and flavor.
  • 4 cups vegetable broth Liquid base for the soup.
  • Salt and pepper to taste For seasoning.
  • Optional: cream or coconut milk For added creaminess.
Toppings
  • crispy croutons For garnish.
  • fresh parsley For garnish.
  • drizzle of olive oil For garnish.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until they are softened and fragrant (about 3-5 minutes).
  2. Stir in the diced butternut squash and turmeric, mixing well to coat the squash with the spices.
Cooking
  1. Add the vegetable broth to the pot, bringing everything to a boil. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, until the squash is tender.
  2. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it reaches a silky texture. Alternatively, transfer it to an upright blender in batches.
  3. Taste and adjust with salt and pepper as needed. For an extra creaminess, stir in a bit of cream or coconut milk before serving.
Garnishing
  1. Top your bowl with crispy croutons, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil for that extra flair!

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To freeze, let the soup cool completely before transferring it to freezer-safe containers. It should last for about 3 months.
