Butternut Squash Soup Ingredients:  

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped 
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt 
  • 1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed 
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced 
  • 1 tablespoon fresh sage, chopped 
  • ½ tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped 
  • 3 to 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth) 
  • Freshly ground black pepper 
  • Optional: Chopped parsley to serve 

 

Directions: 

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion, salt, and a few twists of black pepper. Sauté until onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. 
  • Add the butternut squash and cook until it starts to soften, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes. 
  • Add the garlic, sage, and rosemary. Stir and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant, then add 3 cups of broth.  
  • Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, until the squash is tender.  
  • Let the mixture cool slightly, then pour it into a blender. Work in batches if necessary and blend until smooth. Thin the soup with additional broth if needed. 
  • Season to taste and top with chopped fresh parsley, then serve with crusty bread.
