Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Butternut Squash

    Peel, seed, and chop the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Dice the onion and carrot, and mince the garlic.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and carrot, and sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 4

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, ground nutmeg, and cayenne pepper to the pot. Stir for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 5

    Cook the Squash

    Add the chopped butternut squash to the pot and stir to combine. Pour in the vegetable broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

  4. 6

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
