Cozy Spiced Maple Squash Soup Recipe

Today’s Special: Spiced Maple Squash Soup

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share my latest creation — a cozy and comforting Spiced Maple Squash Soup. This creamy soup is perfect for chilly evenings, and the combination of sweet maple syrup and warming spices makes it a truly unique dish. Let’s dive into the recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 medium butternut squash, diced
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg
• to taste

Kitchen Tools:

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

To begin, heat some olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots, and butternut squash, and sauté until the vegetables start to soften and caramelize.

Next, pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the squash is fork-tender.

Once the vegetables are cooked through, stir in the maple syrup, coconut milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Let the soup simmer for another 5–10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it reaches a smooth and creamy consistency. If you prefer a chunkier soup, you can skip this step or blend only half of the mixture.

Serve the Spiced Maple Squash Soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of coconut milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of warmth.

This recipe yields approximately 1600 grams of soup, enough to serve 6 people. Each serving weighs around 267 grams and contains approximately 220 calories.

One unique tip for this recipe is to roast the diced butternut squash in the oven before adding it to the soup. This will enhance the natural sweetness of the squash and add a lovely caramelized flavor to the dish.

I hope you give this Spiced Maple Squash Soup a try soon. It’s a delightful blend of fall flavors that will surely warm your soul. Feel free to play around with the spices and adjust them to your taste. Enjoy!
