Mouzin Brothers’ Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 large Mouzin Brothers butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (optional)
- Croutons, for garnish (optional)
- Fresh herbs, such as thyme or sage, for garnish (optional)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Place the diced Mouzin Brothers butternut squash on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper, tossing to coat evenly.
- Roast the butternut squash in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until tender and caramelized, stirring halfway through.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Add the roasted butternut squash to the pot, along with the vegetable broth, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and ground ginger. Stir to combine.
- Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let the soup simmer for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Using an immersion blender or regular blender, carefully puree the soup until smooth and creamy. If using a regular blender, work in batches to avoid splattering.
- Once the soup is blended to your desired consistency, return it to the pot if necessary. Stir in the heavy cream, if using, and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- To serve, ladle the Mouzin Brothers’ Roasted Butternut Squash Soup into bowls and garnish with croutons and fresh herbs, if desired.
