INGREDIENTS
1 cup cubed Butternut Squash (205g)
3 ounces Chicken Breast (85g)
1/2 cup Cannellini Beans (90g, drained)
1 cup Vegetable Broth
1/2 cup Light Coconut Milk
1 small Yellow Onion
2 cloves Garlic
1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Spices (Cumin, Nutmeg, Salt & Pepper) to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Toss the cubed butternut squash with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cumin. Spread it on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
While the squash roasts, cube the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Season lightly with salt and pepper, then pan-sear in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
In a large pot, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
Add the roasted squash, seared chicken, and cannellini beans into the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth and light coconut milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it bubble gently for 5-7 minutes to meld the flavors.
Using an immersion blender (or transferring in batches to a countertop blender), blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired.
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve warm, enjoying the comforting creaminess and hearty protein boost.
