Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400℉/200℃ and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.

Place any excess olive oil in the squash cavity, and place a clove of garlic in each one.1 medium butternut squash (about 2-2.5 lb), 1 large yellow onion, 3-4 large carrots, 2 garlic cloves, 4 tablespoons olive oil
- Season with salt and pepper. Cook in the preheated oven until the carrots and onions are starting to char and are soft, I recommend checking in at 20-25 minutes.Salt, Pepper
- Once charred, use tongs to remove the onions and garlic from the sheet pan and place in a blender or food processor. Continue cooking the butternut squash and carrots in the oven until the flesh is scoopable - it can take anywhere between 45-60 minutes.
- While the squash continues roasting, blend the onion and garlic with some of your stock and the ginger.2 teaspoons dried ginger, 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
- Pour this into your large pot and simmer over low heat.
- Once the squash has cooked enough, scoop out the flesh into your blender and add more stock. Blend until smooth.
- Add to your pot and bring to a simmer, cooking for at least 10 minutes. Taste and see if you need to add more salt or pepper.
- Serve in bowls and garnish with croutons, yogurt, or a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
Butternut Squash: you can also use two smaller squashes if that's what you have on hand. Just note they might not need as much time in the oven.
Blending: when blending, let the vegetables and stock cool before placing in the blender. You can always use an immersion blender in the pot.
Seasonings: adjust the herbs and spices according to what you like!
Croutons: I served this soup with homemade brioche croutons.
Storage: Store the cooled soup in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or in a saucepan on the stove until warm.
