Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 pounds butternut squash cut into ½-inch pieces
- 3 green onions sliced, greens separate from the whites
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 chai flavored tea bag
- 2 tablespoons Creme Fraiche plus extra for serving, or heavy cream
- 5 cups water
Instructions
- In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the squash, onion whites, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Cook, frequently stirring until the squash is softened and lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
- Stir in 5 cups water, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the tea bag and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 20 minutes or until the squash is tender.
- Remove the teabag with the cooking spoon and discard.
- Blend the soup using an immersion blender or working in batches. Process the soup in a blender until smooth. Return the soup to the pot and add the crème frâiche or heavy cream. Stir until incorporated into the soup.
- If the soup is too thick, add enough water to bring it to the desired consistency.
- Simmer over medium-low heat or until heated through.
- Serve topped with additional crème frâiche and green onions.
