Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves plus more for serving (rosemary can also be used)

  • kosher salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large pot, sauté the onion and fresh thyme (1 tablespoon) in olive oil (1 tablespoon) until browned and softened.
  2. Add the squash, broth (1 cup), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir, bring to a boil, and simmer for 20-30 minutes (or until squash is tender).
