Butternut Squash Soup Ingredient List
- 3 cups chicken stock
- 1 butternut squash peeled and cubed (to yield approximately 3 cups)
- 1 Spanish onion peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ teaspoon balsamic vinegar
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Preparation Steps
Gather all the ingredients and tools for this recipe.
Peel and cut butternut squash into cubes.
Peel and dice Spanish onion.
Cooking Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Coat the butternut squash cubes in a bowl with olive oil, kosher salt, and pepper. Spread them out in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet.
Roast in the oven for 45 minutes, or until the squash is caramelized and fork-tender. Then, add the roasted squash to the soup pot.
Heat the coconut and olive oil over high heat in a heavy-bottomed pan until shimmering. Add the diced onion and a pinch of salt. Cover the pan, and cook for 8 minutes on high heat, stirring occasionally.
Once the onion starts to brown, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the onions are caramelized.
In your soup pot, combine the chicken stock, caramelized onions (with the oil from the pan), and roasted squash. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes.
Turn off the heat. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth.
Stir in the balsamic vinegar. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
