Ingredients

  • 1 large butternut squash, sliced in half, seeded, cut into 2-inch cubes about 2-3 pounds
  • 2 large carrots, peeled, cut in 2-inch slices
  • 2 ribs celery, cut into 1-inch slices
  • 1 large onion, peeled and quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled
  • 32 ounces vegetable stock, homemade or store bought Note 1
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut or olive oil
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

To Roast Butternut Squash

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Place prepared squash, carrots, celery, and onions on a baking tray.
  • Sprinkle with oil. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • Roast for 40 minutes, flipping veggies halfway through baking. Veggies should be fork tender when cooked through.
  • During the last 5 minutes, add the garlic cloves.
  • Once veggies are cooked, remove from the oven.
  • In a large Dutch Oven, over medium heat, add the vegetable stock and roasted veggies.
  • Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, simmer for about 5 minutes
  • Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until smooth.  If you do not have an immersion blender. Place half the soup in a blender. place top and cover top with a towel. Hold towel on top and blend until smooth. Do the same with second half of soup.
  • Soup will be ready to serve.  This is an easy make-ahead soup.  Can re-heat on the second day. Also perfect as a make-ahead soup.  Freezes well, I prefer no longer than 3 months.  Defrost in the fridge. Reheat and enjoy.

Notes
