Sage Infused Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
Vegan, Gluten Free, Paleo & Whole30 approved
My favorite fall/winter soup has to be butternut squash. I’ve been making a variation of this soup for years, truthfully, other than pesto, it was the first thing I perfected in the kitchen so i’m confident you’ll love it. This version is vegan, gluten free as well as Paleo and Whole30 approved. Enjoy having a tummy full of warm root rich veggie goodness!
Ingredients
8 cups of 1 inch cubes butternut squash
Seasoning mixture of 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon curry and sprinkle of cumin
1 large leek
1 can of coconut milk
8 leaves of fresh sage
1/4 cup of Miyoko’s Vegan butter
1/4 cup of Olive Oil
Kosher salt
Black Pepper
2 whole shallots sliced into 1/4 inch pieces
6 cups of homemade veggie broth
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400℉
Cut and cube butternut squash into 1 inch cubes peeled and seeded, place into a bowl with 1 tablespoon of Olive Oil
Sprinkle seasoning mixture, salt and pepper onto squash and mix until coated, spread squash onto baking sheet and place in oven
Empty can of coconut milk into a sauce pan, add in four of the sage leaves and let simmer until fragrant
In a dutch oven melt vegan butter and add shallots, leek, salt and pepper - cook until translucent
Add roasted squash, broth and increase heat to a boil
Once heat is at a boil, reduce to medium or until vegetables are tender which usually takes 10 minutes
Puree the soup in a food processor (my preferred is Vitamix) and remember to work in batches
Return pureed soup to original dutch oven and mix in the coconut milk infused with sage
Voila!
