Tips:

  • Choose ripe and fresh butternut squash and carrots: Look for firm, unblemished squash with a deep orange color. For carrots, choose those that are bright orange and crisp.
  • Wash and peel the vegetables thoroughly: Scrub the butternut squash and carrots well under running water. Then, use a sharp knife or vegetable peeler to remove the skin.
  • Cut the vegetables into small pieces: This will help them cook evenly and quickly. Aim for 1-inch cubes for the butternut squash and ½-inch rounds for the carrots.
  • Sauté the vegetables in butter or olive oil: This will help enhance their flavor and give the soup a richer taste.
  • Add onion, garlic, and spices: These ingredients will add depth and complexity to the soup. Sauté them until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  • Use vegetable broth or stock: This will create a flavorful base for the soup. You can use store-bought or homemade vegetable broth or stock.
  • Simmer the soup until the vegetables are tender: This will usually take around 20-25 minutes. You can use a blender or immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth, or leave it chunky if you prefer.
  • Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste: You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or nutmeg for a bit of spice or warmth.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or a dollop of sour cream: This will add a pop of color and flavor to the soup.

Conclusion:

This freezable butternut squash and carrot soup is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for busy weeknights or meal prep. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your dietary preferences. You can make it vegan by using a plant-based milk and omitting the butter. You can also add other vegetables to the soup, such as sweet potatoes, parsnips, or celery. This soup is also a great way to use up leftover butternut squash or carrots. Once frozen, the soup can be stored for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator or heat it up in a saucepan over medium heat.
