Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place butternut squash in a baking dish. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step
40 mins

Bake in the preheated oven until softened and easily pierced with a fork, 35 to 40 minutes.

03

Step
15 mins

Allow squash to cool until safe to handle. Peel, seed, and cut squash into chunks and place in a bowl. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

04

Step
18 mins

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 softened, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add tomato sauce, 1 1/2 teaspoons dried basil, and salt; cook until slightly thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

05

Step
20 mins

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.

06

Step
5 mins

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Cut baguette in half diagonally. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with remaining 2 teaspoons dried basil. Place on a baking sheet. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

08

Step
10 mins

Bake baguette in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

09

Step
5 mins

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.

For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the butternut squash with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of chili flakes.
If you don't have fresh basil, a pinch of dried basil will work in a pinch, but the fresh basil really elevates the soup.
A high-speed blender will give you the smoothest results. If you don't have a blender, an immersion blender works well directly in the pot.
