Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Ingredients:
Two butternut squash
Olive oil
Salt and pepper
One medium onion
1/4 fresh sage leaves
Nutmeg
Vegetable or chicken stock

Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut the tops and bottoms off of the butternut squash and peel skin off. Scoop out seeds and cut into medium dice chunks. Spread out on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in oven for 30–45 minutes or until fork tender. Meanwhile thinly slice an onion and rough chop fresh sage leaves, sauté in olive oil until translucent. Remove from pan. In a blender add some stock with butternut squash, sage and onions. Blend until smooth. You will have to do this in several batches. You may want to add more stock till you get it to desired consistency. Once it’s all blended reheat on stove top and season with fresh ground nutmeg, salt and pepper.  

Serves 4–6

The above method is another great way to cook the butternut squash. I've always done it the other way because once it comes out of the oven it's ready to go. Also you can make extra and incorporate it into another dish. Either way is fine.

This soup is much easier to make if you cut the squash in half, remove the seeds, and then roast the cut pieces, skin side down, until it's soft. Then just scoop out the cooked flesh, and proceed. Much easier than what's written above.
It feels good to write.
