- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
-
In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until they are soft and fragrant.

Add the cubed butternut and acorn squash to the pot, along with the vegetable broth, dried thyme, ground nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the soup simmer for about 30 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 to a blender or food processor and blend in batches.

Stir in the heavy cream and heat the soup over low heat for a few more minutes until heated through.
