Ingredients
  

1 medium butternut squash (approximately 2-3 lbs), peeled and cut into cubes

1 large onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

4 cups vegetable or chicken stock

1 cup coconut cream (or heavy cream for a richer flavor)

2 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 tsp ground nutmeg

1 tbsp fresh sage, chopped (or 1 tsp dried sage)

1 tbsp maple syrup (optional for added sweetness)

Fresh sage leaves for decoration (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed butternut squash, diced onion, chopped garlic, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, tossing everything until evenly coated.

      Spread the vegetable mixture out in a single layer on the lined baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the squash is soft and lightly caramelized, stirring halfway through the cooking time.

        After roasting, transfer the vegetable mixture to a large pot and pour in the vegetable or chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

          Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped fresh sage (or dried) and combine thoroughly.

            Using an immersion blender, carefully blend the soup until it reaches your preferred texture. If you don’t possess an immersion blender, you can blend the soup in batches using a traditional blender.

              Incorporate the coconut cream (or heavy cream) and maple syrup (if using). Warm the soup for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring gently.

                Taste and modify the seasoning if needed. Serve hot in bowls, garnished with fresh sage leaves if desired.
