Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Peel squash and scoop out seeds. Cut squash into 1-inch to 2-inch cubes.
- Place cut squash on two large baking sheets. Drizzle with 1½ tablespoons olive oil each, season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven for 15 minutes. Use a spatula to flip squash, rotate pans and place back in the oven for 15 more minutes, or until squash is cooked through and starts to caramelize.
- While squash is cooking, prepare onion, celery, garlic and sage.
- Heat remaining olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once heated, add onion and cook until onions just begin to caramelize (about 20 minutes). Add celery and garlic, cook for 1 to 2 minutes, then add in 2 cups vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer.
- Once mixture is simmering, add in roasted squash, sage and coconut milk. Bring back to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
- Use an immersion blender* to purée until smooth. For a thinner soup, add additional 1 cup vegetable broth. Taste and adjust salt and pepper, as needed.
- Serve with chopped chives as garnish (optional).
Notes
