Equipment

• Dutch Oven
• Roasting Pan

Ingredients

• 1 Butternut squash, halved and seeds removed
• 2 Onions, cut in half or quarters
• 4-5 Carrots, peeled
• 1 Head of Garlic
• 5-6 Thyme Sprigs
• 4-5 Sage Sprigs
• ½ cup Olive Oil
• 2 Tbsp Salt
• 2 Tbsp Black Pepper
• 1 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
• 900 ML Vegetable Stock
• ½ Cup Heavy Cream (Optional)

Instructions

• Prepare the Vegetables

  Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

  Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds.

  Place the squash halves, onions, garlic, carrots, thyme, sage on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper.

  Roast for 45-50 minutes, or until the squash flesh is tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
• Combine and Simmer

  Once the squash is done, allow it to cool slightly, then scoop out the flesh and add it to the pot with the roasted vegetables. Mix well and pour in the vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes
• Blend and Season

  Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until it's smooth. For a creamier texture, add the heavy cream at this stage. Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.
• Serve and Garnish

  Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh sage leaves and a swirl of heavy cream for a delightful finishing touch.
• Conclusion:

  With its rich, savory flavor, my Homemade Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is the ultimate comfort food for the fall season. This soup strikes the perfect balance between sweet and savory, making it a soul-warming addition to your autumn menu.
