Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Vegetables

  • 2 carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 1 cup butternut squash, cubed

Legumes and Broth

  • 1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans, drained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • 1 teaspoon sage
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional Garnishes

  • Fresh parsley
  • A drizzle of coconut milk
  • Chili flakes

Instructions

  1. Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent. Then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  2. Cook the vegetables: Add the diced carrots, sliced celery, and cubed butternut squash to the pot. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables start to become slightly tender.
  3. Add broth and spices: Pour in the vegetable broth, then stir in thyme, sage, cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
  4. Simmer the soup: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer uncovered for 20-25 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the vegetables to soften completely.
  5. Add beans and blend: Add the drained cannellini beans during the last 5 minutes of simmering to warm through. For extra creaminess, use an immersion blender to blend part of the soup, then stir it back into the pot.
  6. Serve and garnish: Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley, a drizzle of coconut milk, or chili flakes as desired.

Notes

  • For a thicker soup, blend a larger portion or all of the soup to your desired consistency.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  • You can substitute cannellini beans with other white beans or chickpeas.
  • To make this soup spicier, add extra chili flakes or a dash of cayenne pepper.
  • This soup stores well in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and freezes nicely.
