Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium Butternut squash peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 large Apples peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 1 large Yellow onion diced
  • 2 medium Carrots peeled and diced
  • 4 cups Vegetable broth
  • 1 cup Coconut milk
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh sage finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves only
  • 3 cloves Garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon Ground cinnamon
  • Nutmeg A pinch, freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoon Olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Roasted pumpkin seeds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot. Add onions and carrots; sauté until onions are translucent. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
  • Add cubed butternut squash and chopped apples. Cook for a couple of minutes, then add spices for a quick toast.
  • Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Add sage and thyme, cover, and simmer until squash and apples are tender.
  • Purée the soup using an immersion blender or in batches with a regular blender.
  • Stir in coconut milk and season with salt and pepper. Heat through without boiling.
  • Serve with roasted pumpkin seeds as garnish.

Notes

  • Roasting — Roasting the butternut squash and apples beforehand can give the dish an unparalleled richness. Try roasting them at 400°F for 20-25 minutes before adding to the pot.
 
  • Blending — Ensure the soup is completely smooth for that luxurious texture. Patience is key when blending.
 
  • Seasoning — Season the soup with salt and pepper after adding the coconut milk to adjust the seasoning accurately.
