Print Recipe

A comforting, velvety soup made by roasting butternut squash and blending it with sautéed sage, onions, and cream for a rich, smoky flavor that comes together in under 45 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup fresh sage leaves
  • 1 yellow onion, diced small
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth (low-sodium)
  • Heavy cream (for finishing)
  • Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
  • Olive oil (for roasting squash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the butternut squash, remove seeds, and cube the flesh into uniform pieces.
  3. Toss squash cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then spread on a baking sheet.
  4. Roast for 25-30 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
  5. While squash roasts, melt butter in a large stockpot over medium heat.
  6. Add diced onion and cook until soft and translucent (about 5 minutes).
  7. Add fresh sage leaves and cook for 1 minute until fragrant and just starting to crisp.
  8. Transfer roasted squash to the pot with onions and sage.
  9. Pour in broth, scraping up browned bits from the roasting pan.
  10. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
  11. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  12. Blend soup until smooth using a blender or immersion blender.
  13. Stir in heavy cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
  14. Serve immediately, garnished with crispy sage leaves or a drizzle of cream.

Notes

Do not rush the roasting process to ensure caramelization. Be careful not to burn the sage as it turns bitter quickly. The soup thickens as it cools; add broth or water when reheating. For dairy-free, use olive oil and coconut cream. Freeze the base without cream for best results.
