Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large (approximately 2 pounds) butternut squash
- 4 medium roma tomatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 4 garlic cloves
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 0.25 cups heavy cream (optional)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 sprig fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel the butternut squash, remove the seeds, and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Slice the roma tomatoes in half and roughly chop the yellow onion.
Place the butternut squash, tomatoes, onion, and garlic cloves on a large baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss to coat everything evenly.
Roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the squash is tender and slightly caramelized.
Transfer the roasted vegetables to a large pot over medium heat. Add the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the mixture in batches to a countertop blender and puree, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, heavy cream (if using), 0.5 teaspoon of salt, 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper, and ground cinnamon. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Simmer the soup for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh thyme if desired.
