Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium-sized butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed (about 2 lbs)
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 1 yellow onion, quartered
  • 4 garlic cloves, peeled
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth (low-sodium preferred)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: croutons, a drizzle of cream, toasted pumpkin seeds, or fresh herbs like parsley or thyme

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Arrange the butternut squash, carrots, onion, and garlic cloves evenly on the prepared sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to coat all the veggies in the seasoning.
  3. Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
  4. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Add the vegetable broth and fresh thyme.
  5. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  6. Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If using a countertop blender, blend the soup in batches, then return it to the pot.
  7. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
  8. If you’d like a creamier texture, stir in the coconut milk or heavy cream at this point. Heat gently until warmed through.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with croutons, toasted pumpkin seeds, or a drizzle of cream. Enjoy!

Notes

[‘Roasting the vegetables enhances their natural sweetness and adds depth of flavor.’, ‘For a vegan option, use coconut milk instead of heavy cream.’, ‘Let the soup cool slightly before blending if using a countertop blender to avoid steam explosions.’, ‘Adjust the consistency by adding more or less broth as desired.’, ‘Experiment with toppings like crumbled bacon, pesto, or Greek yogurt for added flavor.’]
