Categories     Vegetable

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/4 cup olive oil
3 lbs butternut squash
6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
2 large Spanish onions, peeled and quartered
1/4 cup water
3 cups apple juice or 3 cups vegetable stock
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
pepper
2 teaspoons butter
20 fresh sage leaves, sliced on the diagonal

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Brush the bottom of a baking pan with olive oil and set aside. Cut the squash through the stem ends into halves, prick the skin in several places with a knife, and scoop out the seeds with a spoon.
  • Brush the cut surfaces with about a tablespoon of the olive oil.
  • Put the garlic inside the squash cavities and place halves in the pan cut side down.
  • Add the onions to the pan and brush with remaining olive oil. Pour the water into the bottom of the pan, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for 50 minutes.
  • Uncover and bake for 5-10 minutes more or until the squash is tender and the onions are soft.
  • When the squash is cooled enough to handle, scoop out the flesh.
  • Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and discard the skins.
  • In batches in a blender, combine the baked vegetables, apple juice or stock, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper and puree until it is smooth. (If you are making this ahead - chill here - and when ready go to the next direction).
  • Pour the soup into a pot and heat gently.
  • In a small skillet, melt the butter and saute the sage leaves until dark and curled.
  • Garnish each bowl of soup with the sage leaves.

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but this soup was surprisingly good. The flavors were well-balanced and the soup was very creamy. I would definitely make this soup again.

This soup was a bit too thick for my taste. I would have preferred it to be a little thinner. I also found the flavor to be a bit bland. I think it needed more salt and pepper.

This soup is so creamy and flavorful. I love the combination of butternut squash, sage, and nutmeg. It's the perfect soup for a cold winter day.

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out way too salty. I think it was the chicken broth that I used. Next time, I'll use less broth or dilute it with water.

This soup was so easy to make and it turned out delicious! I used frozen butternut squash and it worked perfectly. I also added a bit of chopped apple for a little sweetness. This soup is definitely a keeper.

This soup was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper. I also added a bit of cayenne pepper to give it a little kick. Overall, it was a good soup, but I would probably make some changes to the recipe next time.

I love this soup! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually add a bit more sage than the recipe calls for, because I love the flavor. This soup is also great for meal prep - I'll make a big batch on the weekend
