Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Imagine the sweet, nutty aroma of roasted butternut squash filling your kitchen as it caramelizes to golden perfection. The velvety smooth soup that follows is rich with coconut milk and a touch of maple syrup, creating a symphony of warmth and comfort in every spoonful.

The slight crunch from sunflower seeds on top provides a delightful contrast to the creamy texture below. This recipe is not just a meal—it’s an invitation to indulge in the cozy flavors of fall, any time of the year.

Tips for success:

When roasting the squash, make sure the cubes are evenly coated with olive oil, salt, and pepper for the perfect caramelization.
For a smoother texture, don’t hesitate to blend the soup a little longer—silky and smooth is the goal!
The sunflower seeds add an irresistible crunch, but feel free to experiment with other nuts or seeds for your own twist.
