Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash
- 3 large carrots
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and dice the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes. Peel and cut the carrots into similar-sized pieces.
Peel and quarter the yellow onion, and leave the garlic cloves unpeeled.
Place the squash, carrots, onion, and garlic on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until they are soft and slightly caramelized. Make sure to toss them halfway through cooking.
Let the roasted garlic cool slightly, then peel off the skins.
In a large pot, combine the roasted vegetables, vegetable broth, water, ground cumin, ground coriander, salt, and black pepper.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, blend the soup in batches using a countertop blender.
Stir in the coconut milk and lemon juice, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Cover the pot and let the soup cool to room temperature. Then transfer it to the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until cold.
Before serving, stir the soup well and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve cold and enjoy the refreshing flavors of this Chilled Squash and Carrot Soup!
