Recipe Summary Butternut Squash And Parsnip Soup

The flavors of the butternut squash and roasted parsnips together are a match made in heaven! A fall favorite of ours.

Ingredients | Low Calorie Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

8 cups chicken broth

1 large butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into chunks

4 stalks celery, thinly sliced

2 apples - peeled, cored, and diced

1 leek, thinly sliced (white and pale green parts only)

6 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoons ground allspice

1 ½ teaspoons thyme

6 parsnips, peeled and cut into chunks, or more to taste

2 tablespoons coconut oil

1 cup half-and-half

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Pour chicken broth into a large stockpot over medium-high heat; add squash, celery, apples, leek, garlic, allspice, and thyme. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are completely tender, about 30 minutes.

While the vegetables simmer, put parsnips into a large bowl. Pour coconut oil over the parsnips and toss to coat. Spread parsnips onto a baking sheet.

Roast parsnips until tender and browned, about 30 minutes; add to soup.

Ladle vegetables and liquid into a blender in batches so the blender bowl is no more than half full. Hold lid in place with a towel and pulse blender a few times before leaving on to blend; puree until smooth. Repeat until all soup is pureed.

Pour pureed soup into the pot, stir half-and-half into the soup, and cook until hot, about 5 minutes.

You do not have to use coconut oil for this recipe. You could substitute olive oil and it would still be delicious. I just really like the flavor the coconut oil gives the roasted parsnips.

I recommend boiling the butternut squash in the chicken stock, as I find it gives the soup a smoother consistency that roasting does.
