INGREDIENTS​

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 (3-pound) butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • ½ tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
  • Freshly ground black pepper

For serving​

  • Chopped parsley
  • Toasted pepitas
  • Crusty bread

INSTRUCTIONS​

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper and sauté until soft, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the squash and cook until it begins to soften, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the garlic, sage, rosemary, and ginger. Stir and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant, then add 3 cups of the broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the squash is tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Let cool slightly and pour the soup into a blender, working in batches if necessary, and blend until smooth. If your soup is too thick, add up to 1 cup more broth and blend. Season to taste and serve with parsley, pepitas, and crusty bread.

I think serving the butternut squash soup with a slice of crusty bread or a side salad makes for a satisfying and wholesome meal. Don't forget to sprinkle some fresh herbs on top for an extra pop of freshness! 🥖🥗
 
It's a comforting dish I've been eager to taste! Picture creamy butternut squash mixed with cozy spices like cinnamon and nutmeg – it feels like a warm embrace in a bowl during cold weather. Though I haven't tried it, I can envision the smooth, velvety texture melting on my tongue. Excited to cook up a batch and enjoy every spoonful of this comforting soup! 🍲🍂🥣
