Ingredients:


  • 1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed

  • 4 cups chicken meat stock

  • 2 shallots or onions, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon sage

  • 1 teaspoon rosemary

  • Sea salt, to taste

The other option is to roast the butternut squash first. Add cubes to a buttered casserole dish and roast about 35 minutes. Then, add your roasted squash to your pot with your aromatics and proceed with add your broth.

  • Blend and Season: Once the squash is cooked through, use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Season with sea salt to taste.

  • Add Cream: Stir in the cream of your choice, whether it's traditional cream, cream cheese, sour cream, milk, or coconut cream. This step adds a luxurious creaminess to the soup.

  • Serve and Enjoy: Ladle the butternut squash soup into bowls, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a drizzle of cream, or a crack of black pepper, and enjoy the comforting warmth of this delicious dish.
