Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 pounds) butternut squash
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 1 large yellow onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes. Remove the stem and leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Set both aside.
Peel and finely chop the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Add the diced butternut squash and cauliflower florets to the pot. Stir to coat them in the onion and garlic mixture.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes, or until the butternut squash and cauliflower are tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture to a blender in batches and blend until creamy, then return to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. If the soup is too thick, add more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
