Ingredients for Creamy Butternut Squash Soup (Serves 4):

1 medium-sized butternut squash, peeled and diced
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup coconut milk (or heavy cream for a richer texture)

Instructions for Creamy Butternut Squash Soup:

1. Prepare the Squash: Start by peeling and dicing the butternut squash. The smaller the pieces, the quicker they'll cook
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
3. Add the Squash: Toss in the diced butternut squash and continue to sauté for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
4. Season the Pot: Sprinkle ground cinnamon, nutmeg, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to coat the squash evenly with the aromatic spices.
5. Simmer to Perfection: Pour in the vegetable broth, bringing the pot to a gentle simmer. Cover and let it cook until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
6. Blend and Creamify: Using an immersion blender or transferring the soup to a blender in batches, blend until smooth. Return the soup to the pot.
7. Finishing Touch: Pour in the coconut milk (or heavy cream) to add a luxurious creaminess. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
8. Serve and Garnish: Ladle the soup into bowls, and for a finishing touch, sprinkle a pinch of smoked paprika or a swirl of coconut milk on top.
