Provided by Chester

Categories     Soups, Stews and Chili Recipes     Soup Recipes     Vegetable Soup Recipes     Squash Soup Recipes     Butternut Squash Soup Recipes

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 ½ tablespoons butter
½ onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic
2 sprigs fresh thyme
½ butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
4 cups chicken stock
½ cube chicken bouillon
1 pinch ground cumin
1 pinch ground allspice
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook the onion, garlic, and thyme in the hot butter until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and chicken stock; bring to a simmer and cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble the bouillon into the soup; season with cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper; remove from heat.
  • Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a kitchen towel and carefully start the blender using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a serving bowl. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup in the pot.

Tips:

  • For a smoother soup, blend until completely smooth. If you prefer a chunkier soup, blend only until desired consistency is reached.
  • To make the soup ahead of time, cook it according to the recipe and then let it cool completely. Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw the soup overnight in the refrigerator or place it in a saucepan over low heat and stir until warmed through.
  • For a vegan version of the soup, omit the butter and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little spice.
  • Garnish the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs.

Butternut squash soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is packed with vitamins and minerals, and it can be made with a variety of ingredients, so you can customize it to your own taste.
