Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe
First, prep your butternut squash by peeling it and dicing it into 1-inch cubes. Place cubes into a rectangular baking dish and drizzle with maple syrup, salt & pepper Bake at 350 degrees till tender (about an hour).
In a large soup pot, heat olive oil
Add the onion and sauté over medium heat for 8 minutes.
Next, add the apple pieces, roasted butternut squash, vegetable broth, and spices. Let simmer for 10 minutes till the apples are fork-tender.
Then, blend till smooth. (Use an immersion blender or transfer your soup to a blender or food processor (in batches) and blend just till smooth. Transfer the soup back to your soup pot.)
When blending the soup, be sure to let it cool slightly before using a blender or food processor to avoid splattering hot liquid. An immersion blender can be more convenient for blending hot soups directly in the pot.
Next, add in your coconut milk, or heavy cream, and let it simmer for another 10 minutes or so till heated through again.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with cream, toasted pumpkin seeds, and thyme leaves, and enjoy!!

- 1 medium Butternut Squash (about a pound and a half)

- 4 teaspoons curry powder
- 3 teaspoons grated fresh ginger (or 4 teaspoons ginger paste)
