Creamy roasted squash soup combines roasted butternut squash and carrots to make a creamy (but creamless!) paleo and Whole30 compliant soup!
If I could take a bath in a bowl of this soup, I would.
Is that weird? Probably. But whatever. That was my immediate reaction after taking my first bite. And again after my second and third. And before I knew it (read: 12 seconds later) the entire bowl was gone. So yea, if I could just bathe in this soup, life would be GOOD.
This soup was inspired by a recipe from Love and Lemons. Jeanine’s recipes are simple, bright, plant-based, and always delicious. And the simplicity is what really attracted me (along with the bright colors and gorgeous photography). Because, duh.
So I made this soup as simple as possible. Here’s how to do it:
- Roast up some veg. In this case, I roasted butternut squash and carrots.
- Blend with vegetable stock.
- Add olive oil and some seasoning.
Yuuuup. That’s it people.
But the kicker here is the roasted garlic. Ohhhhh my gosh, I don’t know why I don’t roast garlic more often. How come no one told me how magical roasted garlic is?! Seriously it makes the soup. I roasted two cloves in aluminum foil with olive oil, salt, and pepper; and I’m dreaming of that smell as I’m typing this. SO. DANG. GOOD.
Have you made squash soup before? Or roasted garlic?

I just wanna slurp that right up.
Oh my gosh this looks so comforting, easy and delicious! Who knew that something so simple could be so good!!!?
Simple and delicious is what I am all about 🙂 Thanks Rachel!
Gosh I LOVE roasted garlic.. I have been using it nonstop lately. I bet it’s amazing in this soup!
Yes! This was seriously the first time that I ever roasted garlic before and I have been missing out!
Pureed vegetable soup is SO GOOD, and it’s so easy to eat too! I love that you roasted the veggies too.
Thanks Emily! I don’t make it very often, but every time that I do I say “I NEED to do this more!”
Ohhhh my this looks amazing. My favorite restaurant salad has whole roasted garlic cloves in it and it’s genius – roasted garlic is the best! And I can’t believe I’ve never had squash soup before. Definitely need to change that.
Right?! I don’t know why I don’t roast it more often because it makes everything better! And you definitely need to change that – this is so easy and SO good!
O yes, I make a similar soup with just roasted butternut and carrots! The roasting is such key!
It is key – thanks Rebecca!
Writing this down, right now. This is perfection, Ellie!
Thanks Susie – you’re gonna love it!
