Serves:
Ingredients
- 1 Buttercup squash, peeled and cubed
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Optional toppings: croutons, fresh herbs
Instructions
-
In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and minced garlic. Cook until onions are translucent.
-
Add the cubed Buttercup squash to the pot and cook for a few minutes until it starts to soften.
-
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the dried thyme and ground nutmeg. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the squash is tender.
-
Use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender and blend until smooth.

Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes over low heat.
-
Serve the soup hot, garnished with croutons and fresh herbs if desired.
