Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb butternut squash, chunks peeled and seeded
  • 2 carrots carrots, sliced
  • 1 red onion red onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Optional fresh lemon juice for brightness

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Large Pot
  • Blender or immersion blender
  • Wooden spoon

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the butternut squash chunks, sliced carrots, and chopped red onion with olive oil, ground cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly on a baking sheet and roast until tender and caramelized, about 25-30 minutes.
  2. Once roasted and cooled slightly, transfer the vegetables to a large pot. Add minced garlic and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat, allowing the flavors to meld for about 10 minutes.
  3. Use an immersion blender or transfer the mixture carefully to a blender and puree until smooth, creating a velvety consistency. Be cautious with hot liquids—blend in batches if necessary.
  4. Return the smooth soup to the pot if using a blender, and warm it over low heat. Adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness, if desired.
  5. Once heated through and seasoned, ladle the soup into bowls. Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of spices, or fresh herbs if you like.
  6. Savor the rich aroma of roasted vegetables and spices as you enjoy this warm, velvety fall soup.

Notes

For an extra layer of flavor, add a splash of soy sauce or miso to enhance umami. Feel free to customize with your favorite fall vegetables or fresh herbs.
