Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  3. Add cubed butternut squash and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until squash is tender.
  4. Carefully transfer the soup to a blender (or use an immersion blender) and blend until smooth.
  5. Return the soup to the pot. Stir in milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  6. Heat gently over low heat until warmed through. Do not boil.

  • Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or a swirl of cream.
