Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 tablespoons butter
1 2-pound butternut squash, unpeeled, halved lengthwise, seeded, cut into 8 pieces
1 pound parsnips, peeled, cut crosswise into 2-inch pieces, thick end pieces cut lengthwise in half
1/4 cup water
1 onion, halved, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons minced fresh thyme or 3/4 teaspoon dried
4 cups canned low-salt chicken broth
1 cup half and half

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter large roasting pan with 1 tablespoon butter. Arrange squash pieces, skin side up, in prepared roasting pan. Add parsnips and 1/4 cup water to pan. Cover pan with foil; bake until vegetables are very tender, about 50 minutes. Cool vegetables.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover butternut squash and parsnip. It's also a great option for a vegetarian or vegan meal.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

I added a bit of cayenne pepper to this soup for a little bit of a kick. It was delicious!

This soup is so easy to make and it's so delicious. I love that I can use frozen butternut squash and parsnip, which makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but I really enjoyed this soup. The parsnip and thyme help to balance out the flavor of the squash. I will definitely be making this again.
