This creamy butternut squash soup is everything you could ever want in soupβ smooth, slightly sweet, with a whisper of garlic and rosemary. Itβs SO rich and comforting, like a warm hug in a bowl.
Let’s get started!
Trim the top of the butternut squash and cut in half lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and chop into 1.5″ chunks. Cut off the skin.
Place the squash, onion, garlic, water, soup base, cayenne pepper, ginger, rosemary, cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper, salt, and cloves into a large pot. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and let simmer until pumpkin is soft (check with fork) – about 10-15 minutes.
If you don’t have the Bouillon seasoning, you can simply replace the water with chicken or vegetable broth!
Remove from heat and take out the cinnamon and rosemary sprigs. Use a stick blender to blend the rest of the ingredients until smooth. Add in the desired amount of heavy cream and blend until it reaches the desired thickness.
Ladle soup into bowls, drizzle a little bit of heavy cream, sprinkle with chopped parsley and a pumpkin seeds. Serve with toasted baguette and enjoy!
