Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium (about 2 pounds) butternut squash
- 2 medium sweet potato
- 3 medium carrots
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon (to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (to taste) black pepper
- 0.25 cup (optional for garnish) pumpkin seeds
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and cube the butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and carrots into 1-inch pieces. Spread them on a baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Roast for 25 minutes or until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the vegetables are roasting, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, and cinnamon. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Once the roasted vegetables are ready, add them to the pot along with the vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer batches of the soup to a blender to puree.
Stir in the fresh orange juice, orange zest, and coconut milk. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Return the soup to low heat to gently warm through, but do not boil.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with optional toasted pumpkin seeds and chopped cilantro for a vibrant finish.
Serve warm and enjoy!
