    🥕 Ingredients & Notes

    Here's everything you need for this creamy soup dish:

    • Butternut squash - Peeled, deseeded, and cubed into bite-sized pieces for roasting. You can also use pre-cubed store-bought butternut squash to make this recipe even quicker! And you can use any leftover squash to make delicious deliciously creamy Vegan Butternut Squash Pasta the next day!
    • Extra virgin olive oil - Used to coat the butternut squash cubes before roasting, adding flavor and aiding in caramelization.
    • Dried thyme - Sprinkled over the squash for a fragrant herbaceous touch.
    • Stock cube - Provides a savory base for the soup; choose a vegetable stock cube for this vegan squash soup!
    • Maple syrup - For a hint of natural sweetness to balance the flavors.
    • Balsamic vinegar - Infuses the soup with a subtle tanginess, complementing the naturally sweet notes of the butternut squash.
    • Salt & pepper - To season the soup to taste before serving.

    For the crunchy pesto butter beans:

    • Canned butter beans - Pre-cooked, canned butter beans are my go-to for this delicious soup topping! Simply drain and rinse them well before mixing them with the vegan pesto. And if you have any more butter beans in the pantry after making this recipe, why not try this ultra Creamy Butter Bean Curry that's a firm favorite for my readers?
    • Vegan basil pesto - Tossed with the butter beans to coat them in delicious herbal, garlicky flavors. Use store-bought or homemade.

    Equipment

    To make this soup recipe, you will need the following kitchen equipment:

    • Baking tray - For roasting the butternut squash and butter beans in the oven.
    • Blender - To blend the roasted butternut squash and other ingredients into a smooth soup.
    • Saucepan - To heat and serve the blended soup.
    • Oven - For roasting the butternut squash and butter beans.
    • Bowls and other utensils - For mixing, tossing, and serving the ingredients.

    👩‍🍳 Recipe Instructions (Step-by-Step)

    You can easily make this comforting soup recipe at home in just a few simple steps:

    Step 1 - Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 200°C (or 400°F) to preheat.

    Step 2 - Prepare the Squash: Peel, deseed, and cube the butternut squash. Place the squash cubes on a baking tray, drizzle with olive oil, salt, and pepper, ensuring they're evenly coated. Roast in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes.

    Step 3 - Prepare the Butter Beans: Combine the drained and rinsed butter beans with vegan basil pesto in a bowl. Spread them on a baking tray and add to the oven for the last 12-15 minutes of roasting time with the squash.

    Step 4 - Blend the Ingredients: Once the squash is roasted, transfer it to a blender. Add dried thyme, a stock cube, maple syrup, balsamic vinegar, and hot water. Blend on high speed until smooth.

    Step 5 - Warm the Soup: Pour the blended soup into a saucepan and heat for 2-3 minutes or until it's warmed through.

    Step 6 - Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls, top with the pesto-roasted butter beans, and enjoy this comforting and delicious roasted butternut squash soup!

    💡 Top Tips for Serving

    Here are some additional serving tips for this roasted butternut squash soup:

    • Garnish Creatively - Sprinkle some extra thyme leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, or a dollop of coconut yogurt on top for added flavor, extra creaminess and visual appeal!
    • More Crunchy Toppings: Besides the pesto-roasted butter beans, consider adding roasted pumpkin seeds, croutons, or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for a contrasting texture.
    • Accompaniments - Serve with a slice of crusty bread, a warm baguette, or garlic bread on the side. These make great companions to sop up every last drop of the delicious soup!
    • Get Creative with the Presentation - When serving for a special occasion, use soup bowls or mugs with a festive design or colour that complements the warm tones of the soup!
    • Customise Your Toppings - If you prefer extra spice, add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of chili flakes. A handful of fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro can also elevate the taste and add a delicious freshness to the meal.

    Feel free to personalize the toppings and presentation to suit your taste and make the dining experience even more enjoyable! 🙂
