The texture of this soup is simply divine – it is so creamy and velvety! And that’s all thanks to letting it run through a high powered blender for several minutes!

But the secret of WHY this soup is so delicious is that the squash is SLOW ROASTED first, and then made into soup! This allows the sugars to caramelize in the squash, giving it the most beautiful depth of sweetness and flavor that is almost nutty!

It is truly incredible.

And the best part is that you can roast it beforehand, and when you do – making the soup itself can be whipped together in less than 30 minutes!

Plus, it’s gluten free, vegan, keto, and on the Specific Carbohydrate Diet!

Equipment

  • Vitamix or high powered blender
  • stock pot
  • wooden spoon
  • baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 1 butternut squash cut in half and roasted
  • 3 Tbsp EVOO
  • 3 carrots chopped
  • 1 leek chopped
  • 2 stalks celery chopped
  • 1 small yellow onion chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 6 sprigs fresh thyme leaves removed, and stems discarded
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 cups 1 box vegetable stock (low sodium)
  • 1 can coconut milk
  • 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (Optional)

Instructions
 

  • Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Carefully cut the top and tail off your butternut squash. Then cut in half, and discard the seeds. Rub the inside flesh with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. On a nonstick tinfoil-lined baking sheet, place your squash halves cut-side-down, and bake for 55 minutes, until they are tender to the touch, and the outside easily gives when pushed. (This can be done beforehand).
  • In a large stock pot, saute your onions and carrots in olive oil, salt and pepper for about 4 minutes over medium-high heat. Then add your celery, leeks and garlic, and both the fresh and dried thyme. Let cook for about 5 minutes, until they begin to get tender. Meanwhile, scoop the butternut squash meat from the skins. Add it to the pot, and stir to coat with the spices. Next, add your stock, bring it to a boil, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  • Then, add your can of coconut milk. Stir to combine. Turn off the heat. Carefully, transfer to a vitamix or high powered blender and, blend until smooth. You can also do this in a food processor, but be sure to do it in batches, and use extreme caution since it is a HOT LIQUID!
  • Taste before serving to adjust the seasoning.
  • To serve, garnish with a splash of extra coconut milk, and a couple sprigs of fresh thyme, and pumpkin seeds, if you have any (I did not.)

It’s amazing as a soup — especially with a hunk of nice, crusty bread.

But it ALSO is fabulous as a sauce over fish or other protein! It can even be used as a pasta sauce over noodles, or over a baked sweet potato!

It is just phenomenal. The flavor is sweet and savory, and has that earthiness from the thyme.

Plus, the texture just makes you want to go in for spoonful after spoonful.

You won’t believe there’s not cream in there!
