Warm, creamy, and cozy, this butternut soup is a fall comfort food that is sure to keep you warm on those brisk autumn nights. Serve as a starter or pair with some crusty bread and make it the star of your meal.
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:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
