Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • ¼ cup almonds

  • 3 cups vegetable broth, divided

  • 1 butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and diced

  • 2 carrots, peeled and cut in chunks

  • 1 onion, diced

  • 4 cloves garlic

  • water as needed

  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste

  • ½ teaspoon brown sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook almonds in the melted butter until light brown, about 5 minutes. Pour 1 cup vegetable broth into the pot; bring to a simmer and cook until warmed, 1 to 2 minutes.

  2. Pour remaining broth into the pot; add butternut squash, carrots, onion, and garlic. Pour enough water into the pot to assure the vegetables are completely submerged; bring to a simmer and cook until the carrots are completely soft and the volume of the liquid has reduced by about 1/3, 15 to 20 minutes.

  3. Pour broth mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold lid down; pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Puree in batches until smooth.

  4. Pour pureed soup into a separate vessel. Stir Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, chili powder, brown sugar, and salt into the soup.
