• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• 1 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

How To Make Butternut Squash Soup Recipe?

1. Sauté the Onion: Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Sauté for 5 to 8 minutes until the onion softens.
2. Cook the Squash: Add the cubed butternut squash to the pot. Stir occasionally, cooking for about 8 to 10 minutes until it begins to soften.
3. Add Aromatics: Stir in the chopped garlic, fresh sage, minced rosemary, and grated ginger. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Simmer the Soup: Pour in 720ml (3 cups) of vegetable broth, bring the soup to a boil, then cover and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let it cook for 20 to 30 minutes until the squash is tender.
5. Blend the Soup: Allow the soup to cool slightly, then pour it into a blender, blending in batches if needed, until smooth. If the soup is too thick, add up to 240ml (1 cup) more vegetable broth and blend again.
6. Season and Serve: Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to your preference. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley, toasted pepitas, and a side of crusty bread.

Recipe Tips:

• Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh sage and rosemary give the soup a great flavor. Fresh herbs are much better than dried ones.
• Blend in Small Batches: Blend the soup in small amounts to make sure it’s smooth and doesn’t spill over.
• Adjust the Consistency: If the soup is too thick, add more vegetable broth until it’s just how you like it.
• Add Sweetness: A little bit of honey or maple syrup can add a nice touch of sweetness to balance the flavors.
• Serve Hot: Serve the soup hot with crispy pepitas and warm, crusty bread for the best taste.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Allow the soup to cool to room temperature before putting it in an airtight container. Store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
• Freeze: Let the soup cool, then transfer it to a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
• Reheat Heat the soup in a pot over medium heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring often. If it’s too thick, add some broth.
