Butternut squash makes for one succulent soup that will warm you right up on a chilly winter eve! It\u2019s also rich in phytonutrients and antioxidants<\/a>, especially beta-carotene, which helps keep the eyes and immune system healthy<\/a>. Coconut milk makes this earthy dish creamy \u2014 sans the actual cream \u2014 while the perfect amount of toppings draw out the sweetness of the squash. Soups up!<\/p>\n

Butternut Squash Soup Recipe<\/h3>\n

Serves 6<\/i><\/p>\n

Prep: 15 minutes
\nCook: 40 minutes<\/p>\n

[skinnybox]<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/b><\/h3>\n

<\/b>3 pounds (about 1 large) butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cut into \u00bd-inch chunks
\n1 cup (about 4) shallots, sliced
\n2 teaspoons olive oil
\n1\/2 teaspoon salt
\n3 cloves garlic, minced
\n1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
\n1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
\n1 (14-ounce) can light coconut milk
\n1 bay leaf<\/p>\n

Optional garnishes:
\n<\/i>Cilantro
\nPaprika
\nFresh ground black pepper
\nSunflower seeds<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/b><\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Heat oven to 450\u00b0 F. Toss the squash and onion with 1 teaspoon oil and salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast in a single layer until browned and soft, about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n
  2. Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large saucepan with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for another 30 seconds. Add the broths, coconut milk and bay leaf; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for 5 minutes.<\/li>\n
  3. Remove bay leaf and transfer squash mixture to a blender. Puree until smooth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Pro Tip<\/b><\/h3>\n

    Speed up this recipe up by replacing fresh squash with two 12-ounce packages of frozen pureed butternut squash. Saut\u00e9 the shallots and garlic for 3 minutes before adding thawed squash, broths, coconut milk, salt and the bay leaf.<\/p>\n
