This butternut squash soup, made with chicken broth, is a perfect dish to prepare on a cold day. It's all cooked in one pot and easy to freeze for you to enjoy this comforting meal anytime.
Trim the ends of the butternut squash. Stabilize on a cutting board and peel using a veggie peeler or knife. Halve lengthwise, and scoop out seeds. Cube the squash.
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until soft for about 5 minutes.
Add squash, sage, garlic, ginger, nutmeg, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally until aromatic.
Pour in about 3 cups chicken broth, just enough to cover the veggies. Bring it to a boil, then simmer on low for 20 minutes or until squash is tender.
Uncover and let the soup cool slightly. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm with bread or croutons.
Notes
If you use the countertop blender, make sure to blend it in batches.
You can store the soup in the fridge for about 3-4 days or freeze it up to 3 months or.
