Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 butternut squash (34 lb)
  • 1 medium yellow onion
  • 1 head garlic
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 1 tsp chopped fresh sage
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 3 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth or water)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream (or cashew cream or coconut milk)
  • Homemade croutons
  • Reserved butternut squash seeds
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for toppings

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Halve the butternut squash, scoop out seeds, place cut-side up on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30-35 minutes until tender.
  2. In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion until translucent (about 5 minutes), then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Scoop the roasted squash into the pot and add sage, thyme, vegetable broth, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Blend the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender or regular blender in batches.
  5. Return to low heat and stir in heavy cream or alternatives.
  6. Prepare toppings by roasting reserved squash seeds with olive oil and salt until crispy.
