Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium butternut squash peeled and cubed
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream optional for extra creaminess

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the butternut squash cubes on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Roast the squash for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until tender and caramelized.
  • While the squash roasts, heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, sautéing for 5 minutes.
  • Once the squash is done, add it to the pot with the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir in cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour in vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Blend the soup until smooth using an immersion blender or by transferring in batches to a regular blender.
  • Stir in heavy cream (if using) and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.
