Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: toasted pumpkin seeds, swirl of cream, or croutons for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender.
  2. While squash is roasting, sauté onion and garlic in a large pot over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add roasted butternut squash, vegetable broth, thyme, and nutmeg to the pot. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
  4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender or use an immersion blender to blend until smooth.
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds, a swirl of cream, or croutons, if desired.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use chicken broth instead of vegetable broth. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
