Ingredients
- 3 pounds precut butternut squash (or about 2 small-medium whole butternut squash, cubed and peeled)
- 2 medium yellow onions, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dried rubbed sage
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter or other cooking fat
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic (about 6 cloves)
- 6 cups vegetable or chicken stock
Optional toppings
- roasted pepitas, Mexican crema or sour cream, fresh herbs
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Line two large baking sheets with aluminum foil and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine sage, salt, celery seed, thyme, black pepper and smoked paprika.
- In a large bowl, add butternut squash, onions and olive oil. Toss to combine.
- Add the spices and herbs to the butternut squash mixture and mix together until all the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Evenly distribute the vegetables onto the two prepared baking sheets. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes. Set aside.
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
- Add the roasted vegetables and stir to thoroughly mix with the garlic. Add 2 cups of stock.
- Using an immersion blender, blend the vegetables carefully until completely smooth. You can also use a regular stand blender to blend the veggies in two batches. Be careful to not overfill the blender since veggies will still be very hot.
- Add the remaining 4 cups of stock and blend again (or whisk thoroughly). Cover and cook for 5 more minutes.
- Serve with roasted pepitas, Mexican crema or sour cream and fresh herbs if desired.
