Ingredients
1-16 oz. bag of peeled and cubed butternut squash (or 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded and cubed)
3 c. chicken broth or vegetable broth
1 onion, diced
3 tsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
2 Tbsp. butter or olive oil
Directions
- Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, salt and pepper and sauté for 5-6 minutes until onion is translucent.
- Stir in the squash and cook until squash softens, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in rosemary, thyme, onion powder, coriander, and ginger for about 30 seconds. Then add broth.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cover and cook for 25 minutes.
- Using an immersion blender, blend all ingredients until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, spoon soup into a blender in batches and blend until smooth. When all batches are smooth, return to pot.
- If soup is too thick, add 1/2 cup to 1 cup of extra broth. Top with parsley and sour cream. Soup also goes great with grilled cheese!
