Butternut Squash Soup

Ingredients

  • 2 medium butternut squash
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fresh sage
  • 1 large yellow onion
  • 4-5 cloves of garlic
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • 1 900ml carton of vegetable broth
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1/4 maple syrup

Directions

  1. Peel and cut squash into 1" pieces; chop onion and roughly chop garlic.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, cook butter and onion until browned (5 min), then add garlic for 1 min.
  3. Add squash, sage, and both broths; simmer for 30-40 min (Note 1).
  4. Check squash for tenderness; if ready, blend until smooth (Note 2).
  5. Return to pot, stir in maple syrup, and add salt to taste.

Notes

1. Reduce to medium-low if soup boils over.

2. An immersion blender works, but a regular blender gives a smoother texture.
