Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

November 5, 2013 by Edie Wadsworth 10 Comments

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup via lifeingrace

Okay, I’m just gonna give it to you straight.  This Roasted Butternut Squash soup did not change my life like the Pumpkin Chipotle Barley one.  But you can’t eat that every week, can you? And fall needs you to embrace butternut squash.  It’s like sweet potatoes, minus the sweet and the potatoes.  So, I did what any self-respecting Southern woman would do—I added roasted sweet potatoes, too.  Sweet potatoes are like the mascot vegetable of the South, so if you’re gonna live here, you’re gonna need to embrace them.

I really, really like this soup and in a funny turn of events, I ended up eating it one day for lunch with leftover homemade pizza and BAM!  I am a woman who loves butternut squash soup.  So, I’ve carefully lined it up in the November menu plan so that you’ll have leftover pizza.  Just heat the pizza up in the oven (of course, right? you would never do it in the microwave.  NEVER do it in the microwave.  crust is the essence of life and shall never under any circumstance be soggy!), and then dip the pizza in the soup.  I don’t know what to tell except that it’s good, alright.

Without further nonsense:

You’ll need:

  • 1 butternut squash, halved lengthwise, then chopped into smallish pieces, (seeds removed, of course!) and roasted
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped and roasted (you could just do one more butternut squash and forego the sweet potatoes if you like)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (1/4 stick)
  • 1 medium apple, peeled, cored and chopped, then roasted
  • 1 large onion roasted
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 8 fresh sage leaves or a 1 t. of dried sage
  • 1 T. dried thyme
  • 1 box of chicken broth (Kitchen Basics, for the love of all things delicious and hearty)
  • 1 T. honey
  • 1 t. nutmeg, freshly ground, if possible
  • salt and pepper, to taste (salt along the way and then re-season at the end)
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 t. cumin

Make the magic happen by:

  • Heat the oven to 400 and roast the squash, sweet potatoes, and onions, and apple, after drizzling them with plenty of olive oil, and springing with salt and pepper.  I also use 21 Seasoning Salute from Trader Joe’s, which I highly recommend for EVERYTHING you make, but it isn’t crucial here.  Roast for ~40 minutes until veggies are tender
  • Heat 2 T butter in dutch oven and sauté the chopped garlic and sage for a couple minutes, until their flavors release.  (Don’t burn the garlic!)
  • Once the veggies are all done roasting, toss them all into the garlic butter.
  • Add chicken stock, all the seasonings, and  bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer, stirring occasionally, for  about 15 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the cream.
  • Using an immersion blender, purée the soup and then add in the cream and give it one last puree.
  • Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve with leftover pizza or your favorite bread!

    I don’t comment much, but I had to pipe up to say that I’ve had 2 different recipes for butternut squash soup floating around here for weeks waiting for their chance, but now that you’ve posted one I’m sure I’ll never have to try either of those. I’ve never made a recipe of yours that I haven’t loved! Not to mention that I can always count on you to include butter and cream 🙂 Have you seen Curly Girl’s artwork about butter? http://www.curlygirlstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=21&products_id=342
    Makes me think of you and your blog!

    Hi Edie!

    Thank you for all of the recipes. You are the type of wife and mother I aspire to be as a new mommy and fairly new wifey. Thank you for all of the encouragement you offer us! I was wondering if you have a link of your honey wheat bread posted somewhere or is that a family secret? 🙂 I’m always looking to improve my bread recipes and add new ones!

    Sincerely,
    Erica Jean

      Woot, just found it as I was reading through your 31 days of hospitality! Love when that happens…Ps can I just say again how much of a blessing you are? Thanks so much for your words on hospitality. I think every young mom needs this kind of practical advice on keeping a home and opening it up to loved ones. Amen sistah!

    You know I will try this! More than likely this weekend! I LOVED the Pumpkin Chipotle Soup, however, I must confess, I’m not a fan of pumpkin, (I know, gasp!) so I substituted 2 cups of butter nut squash that I had roasted and that soup is now in the permanent rotation!

2 years ago today, your world shattered into a mil 2 years ago today, your world shattered into a million pieces.

Sometimes I marvel at how we were blessed enough to be there holding you when it all came crashing down. I do know this—I can’t remember my life without you.

I do know that thousands of tears and meals and boo-boos and toy trucks later, we stand in awe of you---your courage, your brave big boy fight, your tender little boy heart, your hilarious old man ways. 

We know how sacred this walk with you is and we don’t take it lightly.

We are here for it all and we couldn’t be more grateful.

We have always loved you and you have always been our special gift.

 Love you little one. Let’s keep listening for Aslan. He will find a way to put everything back together.

I turned 51 last week and spent a much needed few I turned 51 last week and spent a much needed few days alone with this guy.  As soon as we drove out of the driveway I started crying. I don’t think I realized how much I needed a break.

it was incredible and relaxing and amazing and so life-giving. 

this week it feels like last week was 100 years ago because you know, life. 

I am excited to say that despite the fact that I’m another year older I managed to figure out how to go live on YouTube with my new camera. It only took me approximately 6000 hours. So maybe you’ll join me at noon today on YouTube and we’ll try something new together.

Here’s to 2021. Maybe it will get its act together but if it doesn’t we will get ours together😂🥳❤️❤️❤️
“To have Faith in Christ means, of course, tryin “To have Faith in Christ means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing these things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.”

We took Tommy boy for this first ski adventure tod We took Tommy boy for this first ski adventure today and it was so satisfying to see him tackle something hard and keep his chin up and have a BALL doing it.

He was very entertaining to his ski school friends, despite the fact that his German instructor couldn’t understand a WORD he said. 😂🥳

But all you mamas out there can see through all the pretty pictures and videos to know that days like today can also be full of frustration.

Making sure everybody has their stuff, the reservations, the snacks, the HASSLE of boots and poles and gloves and skis, the tears, the snappy replies, the hurt feelings, the wrong turns, the missed moments, the potty breaks.

NEED I GO ON??????

But then there’s the down to your soul goodness of being smack dab in the middle of God’s glorious creation, the sheer joy of the wind and sun on your face, the fleeting feeling that everything is right in the world, the triumph of tackling something hard and pushing through all the doubt and fear.

I felt every emotion today. What a privilege to live this life we’ve been given. What grace to live it with these people.

Today was a dream. But like every dream come true, it has a cost, it requires more of you than you think it will. You will want to quit.  A million times.  But what waits for you on the other side is worth fighting for. 

That’s what we’re diving into this week in my online workshop LIVE YOUR DREAM.

You may have given up on setting goals, but don’t stop dreaming.

Come dream with us and let’s make 2021 the year we were willing to be so alive that we would risk feeling EVERY emotion, every setback, every failure in order to see it come true.

We start tomorrow.

It won’t be the same without you.

It’s time to dream again.
