Time 1h40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 butternut squash
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 carrot, peeled and finely chopped
1 cup finely chopped onion
½ cup celery, finely chopped
1 cup tomato sauce
3 ½ teaspoons dried basil, divided
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups coconut milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1 French baguette
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place butternut squash in a baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until softened and easy to cut into, 35 to 40 minutes.
  • Allow squash to cool until safe to handle. Peel, seed, and cut squash into chunks and place in a bowl.
  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add carrots and cook for 3 minutes. Mix in onion and celery; cook until browned and soft, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add tomato sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil, and salt; cook until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Add baked butternut squash to the pot with the tomato sauce. Mix well. Add coconut milk and fresh basil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, stirring soup occasionally.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Cut baguette in half diagonally. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons dried basil. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake baguette in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  • Fill blender halfway with soup. Cover and hold lid down with a potholder; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Pour into a pot. Repeat with remaining soup. Return blended soup to the pot over medium heat; cook until warmed through, about 5 minutes. Adjust seasonings. Serve with warm baguette.
