05 Step

Recipe View Season to taste with nutmeg, cloves, and cinnamon. Adjust seasonings as needed. Serve hot, garnished with a swirl of cream or a sprinkle of toasted pumpkin seeds, if desired.

For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash in the oven before microwaving. Toss the cubed squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized.
If you prefer a vegan option, substitute the heavy cream with full-fat coconut milk or cashew cream for a similar creamy texture.
Adjust the amount of spices to your preference. A pinch of ginger or cardamom can also add a delightful warmth to the soup.
