Ingredients

For this recipe you will need: vegetable broth, olive oil, red onion, salt, & butternut squash.

Cut butternut squash in half lengthwise, & scoop out the seeds. Cut a quarter of a red onion. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with olive oil & add black pepper & sea salt.

1

Roast the butternut squash and onion for 45-60 minutes until fork tender. After about 30 minutes, remove the onion and set aside so it does not burn.

2

Remove the squash from the oven. When it is cool enough to handle, scoop the flesh out with a large spoon, & transfer to a medium-sized pot. Add in the onion & vegetable stock.

3

Blend the ingredients with an immersion blender or or high speed blender until it reaches a smooth and creamy texture.

4

Bring soup up to a boil over medium heat & reduce to a simmer. Cook uncovered until it has reached desired consistency. Taste & add additional seasoning if needed at the end of cooking.

5

Serve this creamy butternut squash soup warm as is, or add additional toppings like a swirl of coconut milk, fresh herbs, toasted pumpkin seeds, or my favorite - homemade garlic & herb croutons.

6

Kick things up a notch by adding some roasted garlic. Roasting garlic caramelizes its sugars to make it less pungent and slightly sweet with a rich savory flavor. Perfect for this dish!
