Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ cup diced onion
- 4 cups cubed butternut squash, roasted or frozen, see note
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- pinch nutmeg
- 1 tsp onion powder
- ½ tsp oregano
- ½ cup canned coconut milk, plus more for garnish
- 4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
Instructions
- In a Dutch oven or large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, diced onion and minced garlic. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes or until onion is softened.
- Then, add butternut squash and all remaining ingredients except coconut milk and bacon to skillet. Bring to a light boil then simmer on low for 20 minutes.
- Turn off heat. Stir in canned coconut milk.
- Pour contents in pan into a blender, Vitamix, or food processor. Blend until smooth, about 15 to 20 seconds.
- Finally, pour into bowls. Garnish with additional coconut milk and crumbled bacon.
Notes
- This soup can be made with frozen cubed squash or roasted squash.
- If using frozen squash, thaw beforehand or microwave frozen squash until room temperature.
- See How to Roast Butternut Squash for directions.
- Canned coconut oil can be found in the Asian foods aisle at most grocery stores. Use full fat coconut milk (NOT coconut cream). I highly recommend the brand Thai.
- Shake canned coconut milk before opening and using. If the coconut milk is lumpy, stir with a spoon for using.
- Instead of using a blender or food processor, use an immersion blender to blend soup if desired.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- This makes about 4 small bowls of soup. This recipe can be easily doubled for leftovers.
