Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the butternut squash, carrot, and potato to the pot, and stir to coat in the oil and garlic.
Pour in 4 cups of vegetable stock and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the cumin, nutmeg, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Purée the soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Alternatively, blend in batches using a regular blender.
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream.
Gently reheat the soup for a few minutes, then taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper or chili flakes along with the cumin and nutmeg.

For a vegan version, substitute heavy cream with coconut milk or plant-based cream.

To thicken the soup, simmer it uncovered for a few extra minutes, or blend in more squash or potato.

Feel free to add other vegetables like sweet potatoes or parsnips for different flavors.
