Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups butternut squash (peeled, seeded, and cubed)
- 2 cups carrots (peeled and sliced)
- 1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 4 cups vegetable broth (low sodium)
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the butternut squash, carrots, vegetable broth, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash and carrots are tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and allow it to cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender (or transferring the soup in batches to a countertop blender), blend the soup until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the almond milk and heat the soup gently over low heat, without boiling, for 2-3 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
