INGREDIENTS
1 medium Butternut Squash (~900g)
1 medium Red Onion
3 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Olive Oil
4 cups Low-Sodium Vegetable Broth
2/3 cup Canned Chickpeas (drained)
1/3 cup Canned Cannellini Beans (drained)
1.6 cups Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1/2 tsp Ground Nutmeg
1/2 tsp Ground Cinnamon
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Peel, seed, and cut the butternut squash into 1-inch cubes. Peel the red onion and cut into wedges. Toss the squash and onion with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the squash is tender and the edges are slightly caramelized.
While roasting, peel and mince the garlic. In a large pot, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat and sauté the garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the roasted squash and onion to the pot along with the low-sodium vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 10 minutes so the flavors meld.
Stir in the canned chickpeas and cannellini beans, allowing them to warm through.
Using an immersion blender (or a countertop blender in batches), blend the soup until smooth and creamy. Return the soup to the pot if needed.
Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, ground nutmeg, and cinnamon. Allow the soup to simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the soup from heat and gently stir in the nonfat Greek yogurt until well combined. Taste and adjust spices if necessary.
Serve the soup warm. Enjoy this comforting bowl of creamy roasted butternut squash soup that balances sweet roasted flavors with a protein boost!
