Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Hazelnut Creamer.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350ยฐF (175ยฐC).
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, toss together the cubed butternut squash with a generous drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of salt, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 3
Ensure each piece of squash is beautifully coated in this flavorful mixture.
Step 4
Next, spread the seasoned squash evenly across a baking sheet, arranging it in a single layer to promote even roasting.
Step 5
Slide the baking sheet into the preheated oven and let the squash roast for approximately one hour, or until it reaches a tender, fork-friendly consistency.
Step 6
Once the squash is perfectly roasted, transfer it to a 4-quart pot and pour in enough chicken stock to fully submerge the squash.
Step 7
Stir in the aromatic ground ginger and nutmeg, then bring the pot to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 8
Allow the mixture to simmer for about 15 minutes, giving the flavors ample time to meld together into a harmonious blend.
Step 9
When ready, carefully fill a blender halfway with the warm soup mixture.
Step 10
Secure the lid tightly, using a potholder for safety, and blend until the soup is luxuriously smooth.
Step 11
Pour the blended goodness back into the pot and repeat this process with the remaining soup.
Step 12
To finish, stir in the hazelnut coffee creamer, ensuring it is well incorporated for a delightful creamy texture.
Step 13
Enjoy this comforting butternut squash soup, perfect for warming your soul on a chilly day! For an extra touch, consider garnishing with toasted pumpkin seeds or a swirl of cream for a beautiful presentation.
