Healthy Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed, about 2.5 cups
  • 1 apple, skin removed

  • 1/2 tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Toasted Pepitas*

Directions

  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, salt, and several grinds of fresh pepper and sauté until soft, 5 to 8 minutes.
  2. Add the squash and cook until it begins to soften, stirring occasionally, for 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Add the garlic, sage, rosemary, and ginger. Stir and cook 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant, then add 3 cups of the broth.
