Join me and let's see how to make Butternut Squash Soup
Instructions:
Step 1
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrots, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in the butternut squash cubes and continue to cook for another 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the dried thyme, dried sage, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Step 4
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the butternut squash is soft and easily pierced with a fork.
Step 5
Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the soup until it's smooth and creamy. Alternatively, you can transfer the soup to a blender in batches and blend until smooth.
Step 6
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. If you prefer a thinner consistency, you can add more vegetable broth.
Step 7
Serve the Butternut Squash Soup hot, garnished with a drizzle of fresh cream if desired. Enjoy your delightful French soup!
