Print Recipe

A deeply savory, slightly sweet, and silky butternut squash soup made with roasted squash and crispy sage. This easy, one-pan method delivers a luxurious, dairy-free soup that’s perfect for fall and winter.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large butternut squash (about 3 lbs), peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, loosely packed
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 3 cloves garlic, whole
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup canned full-fat coconut milk
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional garnishes: olive oil drizzle, flaky sea salt, extra crispy sage leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss cubed squash, sliced onion, and whole garlic cloves with 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread in a single layer.
  3. Scatter fresh sage leaves over the squash. Roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking the pan halfway, until squash is tender and edges are browned.
  4. Remove from oven. Pick out crispy sage leaves and set aside. Transfer roasted squash, onion, and garlic to a large pot or Dutch oven. Squeeze soft garlic out of its skin.
  5. Add vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low. Use an immersion blender to puree until smooth. (Alternatively, blend in batches in a regular blender, letting soup cool slightly first.)
  6. Stir in coconut milk. Taste and adjust seasoning. Simmer for 5 more minutes. If too thick, add a splash of broth or water.
  7. Ladle into bowls. Top with reserved crispy sage leaves, a drizzle of olive oil, and flaky sea salt if desired. Serve hot.

Notes

For best texture, use full-fat coconut milk. Store crispy sage separately at room temperature. Soup tastes even better the next day. To peel squash easily, microwave whole squash for 2-3 minutes first.
