Ingredients Needed
- Butternut Squash - A 2 lb squash is perfect.
- Onion - We prefer white onion for this recipe, but yellow would also be great.
- Garlic - A few cloves tossed into the roasting pan, too!
- Fresh Thyme - Fresh is best because it's just added to the roasting pan but then removed before blending.
- Olive Oil - Just a little for roasting.
- Homemade Stock - Vegetable is our preferred to keep this recipe vegan, but you could of course use Chicken, too.
- Salt and Pepper
Simple ingredients for this Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, but still so much flavor, especially if you have a super flavorful homemade stock.
Easy to Make
What makes this soup so flavorful with so few ingredients is roasting the butternut squash with onion, garlic, and seasonings. It brings out the rich sweetness of the squash, complimented by the onion and garlic and savory thyme.
This is a great hands-off soup because once you have all of your veggies prepped and tossed in the pan, it's left to roast for an hour, and you can go back about your life while all those delicious roasted flavors develop in the oven.
Once it's all roasted, then it's just a matter of adding it all to your soup pot with the remaining stock and blending it all together with either an immersion blender, blender, or Vitamix.
Serve it with some freshly baked bread, like Dan's Como Bread, our Easy Crusty French Baguette, or some of our Easy Dinner Rolls From Scratch and you have a meal!
