Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 large yellow or white onion chopped
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed (save seeds for roasting!)
  • 2 large carrots, chopped to the same size as squash
  • 3 garlic cloves smashed
  • 1 Tablespoon (or 4-5 leaves) fresh sage chopped
  • ½ Tablespoon minced fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (or ginger powder)
  • 3 to 4 cups vegetable broth
  • Freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste
  • In a large soup pot, heat olive oil on medium-low heat. Add chopped onion for 5-10 minutes until, light brown and cooked through.
  • For croutons, cut pieces of bread into cubes and roast in the oven, still at 400 degrees, for about 5 minutes, or until golden brown. Set aside for topping.
  • Add roasted butternut squash cubes, carrot, and garlic to pot. Cook for about 5 minutes and then add herbs, salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Turn heat down and simmer until squash and carrots are cooked through about 20 minutes. Stick a fork in it to check!
  • Turn heat off and begin to blend. With either an immersion blender or if using a regular blender, carefully 1-2 cups at a time until fully blended and smooth.
  • Serve hot in a bowl with Everything But the Bagel seasoning and croutons on top.
