There is nothing quite like coming home to a cozy bowl of soup when the air turns crisp. This butternut squash soup is one of my absolute favorites because it feels so elegant yet is actually quite simple to put together. Everyone I share it with always asks for the recipe.

My secret for the best flavor is roasting the squash until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown before blending. It adds a natural sweetness that you just cannot get from boiling the vegetables. Make sure to use a good quality vegetable broth to keep the flavors bright.

🧺 Ingredients

1 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed
1 large yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and black pepper to taste

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil on a baking sheet and roast for about 30 minutes until tender.
3
In a large pot, sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until they are soft and translucent.
4
Add the roasted squash, vegetable broth, and nutmeg to the pot.
5
Bring the mixture to a simmer for about 10 minutes.

Use an immersion blender to process the soup until it is smooth and creamy.
7
Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper before serving warm.

💡 Tips

This soup keeps beautifully in the fridge for up to four days. If you want to get fancy, top your bowl with some toasted pumpkin seeds or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
