Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and chopped into cubes
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • ½ tablespoon finely minced rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

To serve:

  • Fresh parsley (chopped)
  • Toasted pepitas (pumpkin seeds)
  • Crusty bread for dipping

Instructions

  • Sauté the aromatics: In a large soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion, sea salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes until the onion softens and turns slightly golden.
  • Cook the squash: Add in your butternut squash cubes. Stir occasionally and let them cook for 8 to 10 minutes, allowing some light browning for added flavor.
  • Add herbs and garlic: Stir in garlic, sage, rosemary, and ginger. Cook for 30 to 60 seconds until fragrant—don’t let the garlic brown.
  • Simmer the soup: Pour in 3 cups of vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 25 minutes or until the squash is fork-tender.
  • Blend until smooth: Remove from heat and let the soup cool slightly. Transfer to a high-speed blender in batches and puree until completely smooth. Add more broth if needed to reach desired consistency.
  • Taste and serve: Return the soup to the pot, reheat gently if necessary, and adjust seasoning to taste. Serve hot, garnished with parsley, toasted pepitas, and crusty bread on the side.

Notes

  • Toast your pumpkin seeds in a dry pan until they pop—skip pre-packaged ones, they’re usually stale.
  • For a velvety finish, use a high-powered blender instead of an immersion blender.
  • Making it ahead? Slightly under-season, as flavors deepen overnight.
  • Reheat slowly over low heat to prevent separation or curdling.
