- Yield: 4-6 servings
- Category: Soups
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 medium yellow onions, coarsely chopped (about 1 heaping cup)
- 3 medium butternut squash, peeled and cubed (approx 8 cups)
- 3 cups low sodium chicken broth (approximate amount)
- 2 cups milk (or half and half)
- 2 teaspoons fine sea salt
Instructions
- Melt butter in large soup pot. Add garlic and cook 1 minute. Add onion. Cook on low heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add squash and salt, mixing to combine with onion, increase heat slightly and cook 5 minutes. Add chicken broth just to barely cover squash. (You don’t want to add too much broth because then soup will be too thin).
- Bring to a simmer, reduce heat and cook until squash is soft (about 20-30 minutes). Turn heat off, remove squash and onions from pot with slotted spoon and puree in blender. Pour back into pot and reheat on low. Add milk (or half and half) and continue to heat until heated through. Serve with freshly ground pepper. Garnish with a drizzle of half and half.
