Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is the perfect autumn soup. The sweet roasted butternut squash, and roasted potatoes, dried thyme, and homemade chicken broth all add flavor to the soup to make it both comforting and filling for cold autumn nights.
How to Make Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Add parchment paper to two 9 x 13 baking pans and set aside.
Peel, rinse, and cube the potatoes and the butternut squash. Wear plastic gloves while doing this so you don't get the squash sap on your hands.
Add the potatoes and the butternut squash to their own pans and drizzle vegetable oil/ ghee on both and a pinch of cayenne pepper to the butternut squash. Roast the veggies until they are soft and the potatoes are just starting to brown.
In a medium pot, on medium heat saute the onions, carrots, and celery until soft. Then add the minced garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook until the garlic is fragrant, then add Homemade Chicken Broth. Cook the soup for 30 - 40 minutes.
Blend the soup using either an immersion blender or regular blender in 2 cup portions.
Serve the Butternut Squash Soup with fresh thyme, or pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!
