The Ultimate Fall Comfort: Pumpkin Spice Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

Today’s Culinary Delight: Pumpkin Spice Butternut Squash Soup

As the weather starts to cool down and autumn begins to set in, I find myself craving warm and comforting dishes to cozy up with. This Pumpkin Spice Butternut Squash Soup is the perfect blend of savory and sweet, with a unique twist that will surely surprise your taste buds.

To create this flavorful soup, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1 medium butternut squash, peeled and diced (about 800g)
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 large carrot, sliced
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup
• Salt and pepper to taste

Gather the following kitchen tools to prepare the soup:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• large pot
• immersion blender

In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and sliced carrot, and sauté until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the diced butternut squash, pumpkin pie spice, salt, and pepper, and cook for another 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and let the soup cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the butternut squash is soft and easily mashed with a fork.

Once the vegetables are cooked through, remove the pot from the heat and use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Stir in the coconut milk and maple syrup, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.

Serve the Pumpkin Spice Butternut Squash Soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice for an extra touch of fall flavor.

This delightful soup weighs approximately 1800 grams once cooked, making around 6 servings. Each serving is around 300 grams and is approximately 250 calories.

One unique tip to make this soup extra special is to roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup mixture. This will enhance the natural sweetness of the squash and add a depth of flavor that is truly irresistible.

I encourage you to give this Pumpkin Spice Butternut Squash Soup a try and make it your own by adjusting the spices or adding your favorite toppings. Enjoy the flavors of fall in a bowl with this delicious and comforting soup!
