Butternut Squash, Cauliflower & White Bean Soup

This quick and nourishing soup is an ideal winter weeknight meal, especially all of the holiday richness! I use pre-chopped veggies to make life easier!
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 12 ounces pre-cut butternut squash or 1 medium squash, peeled, seeds removed and diced
  • 12 ounces pre-cut cauliflower florets or 1 medium head cauliflower, chopped
  • 1 small vidalia onion chopped into 3/4" pieces
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt divided, plus more to taste
  • 3/4 teaspoon pepper divided, plus more to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 15 ounce can white beans like cannellini or great northern, rinsed and drained
  • 32 ounces vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce
  • 3/4 cup canned full fat coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 3 cloves garlic roughly chopped

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with nonstick parchment paper.
  • Add butternut squash, cauliflower and diced onion. Toss with oil and ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. Spread in an even layer (it’s ok if there’s some overlap), and roast for 25 minutes, until veggies have golden-brown edges.
  • While veggies are roasting, combine remaining ingredients in a blender* (so ½ teaspoon each salt and pepper).
  • When veggies come out of the oven, CAREFULLY scrape into your blend. Then make sure to seal the blender properly / tightly and start blending on the lowest setting, working up from there.
  • Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into a pot and bring to simmer (just to heat up), then add more salt and pepper accordingly (I add another ¼ teaspoon each). Enjoy!
  • Leftovers will keep in the fridge up to 4 days or frozen 2 months.

Notes

*You want your blender to hold at least 2 liters; if your blender is smaller, you can add to a pot and use an immersion blender or add HALF of everything in blend in batches).
