Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt until well coated. Spread the squash in a single layer on an unlined baking sheet.
- Roast the squash for 60-70 minutes, until completely tender and just beginning to brown on the edges.
- Once the squash has been roasting for 40 minutes, start the soup: In a large stock pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and season with 1 teaspoon of salt. Sauté for 8-10 minutes, until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
- Add the garlic and sage and stir to combine. Sauté for another 8-10 minutes, until the onions are beginning to caramelize slightly. Add the white wine and cook for 2-4 minutes, until reduced by about half.
- Add the squash to the pot, along with the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low. Simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the squash is completely broken down.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the heavy cream and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Using an immersion blender, blend until the soup is completely smooth and creamy. Season with the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, plus more to taste.
- Ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top with the toasted walnuts, a drizzle of heavy cream, and a drizzle of chive oil.
- To make the chive oil, combine the ice and 3 cups (720 ml) of water in a medium bowl. Set near the stovetop.
- Add the remaining 3 cups (720 ml) of water to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add the chives to the simmering water and blanch for 30 seconds, then strain. Transfer the strainer directly to the ice bath to halt the cooking process. Let the chives cool for 1 minute, then drain on paper towels.
- Add the chives and oil to a liquid measuring cup or other tall, narrow container. Using an immersion blender, blend until the chives are completely broken down. Do not overblend, as the chives can turn brown.
- Place a damp paper towel inside a strainer and set over a medium bowl. Pour the chive oil through the strainer to remove any remaining solids.
- Use the chive oil as desired. It will keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 months.
- Enjoy!

Once you've tried it, try mixing it up-add save or savory with the thyme or replace it with nutmeg. For a vegan version, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth. -Jennifer Machado, Alta, California

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
- Roast the squash before pureeing it: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast the squash until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Use a good quality broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water. If you're using water, be sure to add some salt and pepper to taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're adding the squash to the pot, don't overcrowd it. If the pot is too crowded, the squash won't cook evenly.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: Simmering the soup for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld together. The longer you simmer the soup, the more flavorful it will be.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is done simmering, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
Conclusion:
Butternut squash soup is a delicious and healthy soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With these tips, you can make the best butternut squash soup ever!
