Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • 2 large carrots peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil for roasting
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • to taste salt and pepper for seasoning

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Blender
  • Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the cubed butternut squash and sliced carrots evenly on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then toss to coat thoroughly. Roast until the vegetables are deeply browned and caramelized around the edges, about 25-30 minutes.
  2. While the vegetables roast, sauté the diced onion in a large saucepan over medium heat with a splash of olive oil. Cook until translucent and fragrant, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the onions and cook for another minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  4. Transfer the roasted vegetables into the saucepan with the sautéed onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Use an immersion blender or carefully transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until completely smooth and velvety, with no chunks remaining.
  6. Return the blended soup to the saucepan if needed. Warm over low heat, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Stir gently to combine.
  7. Once heated through, ladle the soup into bowls, and serve hot. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs or a swirl of cream.

Notes

Roasting the vegetables enhances their natural sweetness and depth of flavor. Adjust seasoning to your preference for salt and pepper.
