Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups (peeled, seeded, and cubed) Butternut squash
- 1 small (peeled and roughly chopped) Yellow onion
- 1 medium (peeled and chopped) Carrot
- 2 cloves (peeled) Garlic
- 3 cups Vegetable broth
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons (freshly ground) Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for garnish) Fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons (optional, for garnish) Pumpkin seeds
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion, carrot, and garlic for 5-7 minutes, or until softened and fragrant.
Add the cubed butternut squash to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pour the vegetable broth into the pan and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-12 minutes, or until the butternut squash is fork-tender.
Carefully transfer the cooked vegetables and broth to your Vitamix blender. Add the coconut milk, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.
Secure the lid on the Vitamix and gradually increase the speed to high. Blend for 2-3 minutes, or until the soup is completely smooth and creamy.
Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the soup warm, garnished with fresh thyme leaves and toasted pumpkin seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
