Easy 2 ingredient Butternut Squash Soup
Ingredients
- 1 medium butternut squash
- 2 tablespoons (30ml) olive oil
- 4 cups (950ml) chicken or vegetable broth
- kosher salt , to taste
- fresh cracked black pepper , to taste
- optional garnish: sour cream, toasted pumpkin seeds, minced parsley
Instructions
- Peel and core butternut squash. Cut into 1” cubes
- Heat large pan on medium high heat. Add oil then add butternut squash cubes.
- Cook squash for about 5 minutes until lightly brown on all edges. When the squash is browned, the sweet nutty aroma is enhanced. Add chicken or vegetable broth.
- Simmer butternut squash for about 20 minutes or until squash is completely tender. Do a test "squish" with a fork on one of the squash pieces to see if it's soft.
- Option 1: If you have an immersion blender, you can blend it at this point.
- Option 2: If using regular blender, allow soup to cool first until it is safe to handle and transfer. Then add butternut squash to blender and blend until smooth.
- Return soup to pot and simmer on low to re-heat. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Garnish with optional toppings and serve warm.
