Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Sage Infused Coconut Cream

 

One of the best ways to warm up after being outside in the crisp fall weather is with a piping-hot bowl of soup. This Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is a favorite in our house. In this simple recipe, the squash is roasted in the oven and then added to sautéed onions with spices and broth then puréed in a blender until smooth and creamy. You can stop there and be completely satisfied or make it extra special by adding a sage-infused coconut cream and garnish with crisp fried sage leaves. Enjoy!
