Directions

  • Prepare Ingredients: Start by chopping the onion, garlic, butternut squash, sage, rosemary, and ginger into small pieces.
  • Sauté Aromatics: Heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5-8 minutes. Add butternut squash and stir until it begins to soften, around 8-10 minutes.
  • Add Flavors: Toss in garlic, sage, rosemary, and ginger. Cook for about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
  • Simmer: Pour in vegetable broth, bringing the mixture to a gentle boil. Cover and simmer until squash is tender, typically 20-30 minutes.
  • Blend: Allow soup to cool slightly before blending until smooth. Add remaining broth for desired consistency.
  • Serve: Ladle into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley and toasted pepitas. Enjoy warm!

Notes

Optional: Drizzle with coconut milk for extra creaminess.
