Butternut Squash Soup

This is the BEST ever EASY Butternut Squash Soup! Just a few ingredients and a dash of love, and you’re on your way to soup paradise. Now, are you ready to get cooking?

Ingredients

• 1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth if you’re feeling rebellious)
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger (because why not add some spice?)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
• Optional: a dollop of cream or a sprinkle of toasted seeds for garnish

Instructions

1. First things first! In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Then, toss in the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until they’re fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. (Make sure not to burn it — we want yummies, not ashes!)
2. Now, it’s showtime! Add in those lovely butternut squash cubes and ground ginger. Sauté them for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally until the squash starts to soften. Seriously, your kitchen is going to smell incredible.
3. Next, pour in the vegetable (or chicken) broth. Bring it to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the squash is tender enough to poke easily with a fork.
4. Once you’ve reached that point of tender goodness, blend the soup with an immersion blender (or transfer it in batches to a blender if you’re feeling adventurous). Blend until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick for your liking, just add a splash more broth until you reach your desired consistency.
5. Finally, season with salt and pepper. Taste it, bask in the glory of your creation, and adjust the seasoning as needed. If you’re feeling extra fancy, swirl in a dollop of cream or sprinkle some seeds on top for that chef-like aesthetic. Bravo!

There you have it! Serve this soup hot, and prepare for a wave of compliments as your friends and family dive in. Who knew being a kitchen wizard could be this easy? Now, get out there and impress the world with your soup skills!
