Spicy Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup
This spicy butternut squash and carrot soup is by far one of the best soups I've made. I constantly find myself making it over and over again! It's savory and goes great with toasted bread.
Ingredients
-
1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
-
3 carrots, peeled and cut into thirds

Description
-
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Place squash and carrots into a large bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with curry powder, chili powder, black pepper, and salt; toss until evenly combined. Transfer mixture to a rimmed baking sheet.
-
Roast in the preheated oven until vegetables are soft, about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, place onion, habanero pepper, and garlic in a large pot with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and sauté over medium heat until soft and fragrant, 5 to 7 minutes. Add water and bouillon, increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil.

Working in batches, blend soup carefully in an electric blender or food processor.
