Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
Welcome the fall season with this flavorful soup. Squash are all about this time of year and look so festive. This soup is such a great way to enjoy the flavors of autumn.
Serves 10 (I like to make this soup in large quantities. It goes fast and I try to set aside some for leftovers.) This recipe can easily be cut in half.
Ingredients:
- 3 lbs. butternut squash, peeled and diced
- 1/2 onion, peeled
- 1 teaspoon garlic, chopped
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 apples, peeled and cored
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 gallon chicken stock
- 1 pint cream
Directions:
- On a lightly buttered cookie sheet, roast the onions, garlic, and squash for 30 minutes at 375 degrees F.
- Then place the onions, garlic, and squash in a stock pot and add the following: chicken stock, peeled apples, cinnamon, and brown sugar.
- Bring to a boil and then lower temperature and simmer for 30 minutes or longer.
- Blend to a puree and season with salt and pepper.
- Finish of with cream.
- Garnish with sage and cranberries.

Looks yummy! Wonder about the Tablespoons of salt and pepper? Perhaps too much? Anyway, I am on Weight Watchers and plugged this recipe in for points value using light cream. Only 5 points per serving! Will make using light cream!

Hi Cindy! Sorry about the typo.. it is just 1 tsp of salt 1 tsp of pepper to taste.
Enjoy!

I love butternut squash soup and appreciate this great recipe that includes apples. A tip to share: Put your whole butternut squash in the microwave for 3 minutes and let cool--so much easier and less "muscles" needed in dicing your squash.

This is a yummy recipe!
The kids were all cold, tired, and hungry (read: grumpy) when we got home this afernoon, so to save time I used natural applesauce instead of cooking the apples for 30 minutes. Oh! And I forgot to put the brown sugar in, but it's great without any added sugar.
