# What You’ll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cubed
02 - 1 large head broccoli, cut into florets (about 4 cups)
03 - 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
04 - 3 cloves garlic, peeled

→ Liquids

05 - 4 cups vegetable broth (gluten-free if needed)
06 - 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk or heavy cream

→ Oils & Fats

07 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Seasonings

08 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
09 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
10 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
11 - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

→ Optional Garnishes

12 - Toasted pumpkin seeds
13 - Chopped fresh parsley
14 - Drizzle of coconut milk or cream

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Spread squash cubes, broccoli florets, onion, and garlic on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cumin. Toss to coat evenly.
03 - Roast vegetables for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway, until browned and tender.
04 - Transfer roasted vegetables to a large pot. Add vegetable broth and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook for 10 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
05 - Remove from heat. Use an immersion blender to puree soup until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, carefully blend in batches using a countertop blender.
06 - Stir in coconut milk (or cream) and nutmeg. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
07 - Reheat gently if needed. Ladle into bowls and garnish with pumpkin seeds, parsley, and a drizzle of coconut milk or cream if desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • Roasting the vegetables first creates this incredible depth of flavor you just cant get from boiling alone
  • The texture is silky smooth but still feels substantial enough to be a complete meal
02 -
  • Let the roasted vegetables cool slightly before blending to prevent any splattering accidents
  • The soup continues to thicken as it sits so you may need to add a splash more broth when reheating leftovers
03 -
  • Dont crowd the baking sheet when roasting or the vegetables will steam instead of developing those caramelized edges
  • If you only have a regular blender vent it by removing the center cap and covering with a kitchen towel to prevent steam buildup
