- Soup: In a 8-quart stockpot, melt the butter and oil together over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss squash, 2 tablespoons oil, and sugar in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, tossing occasionally, until squash is golden and tender, 25-30 minutes. Let cool on sheet.
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Add sage; cook until edges begin to curl and turn dark green, 1-2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer to paper towels to drain. Mix ricotta and lemon zest in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. DO AHEAD: Butternut squash, sage leaves, and ricotta can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill squash. Store sage airtight at room temperature. Cover and chill ricotta mixture. Bring squash to room temperature before serving.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of ricotta mixture on each baguette slice. Top each with a few squash cubes. Drizzle crostini with lemon juice and olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top crostini with 2 fried sage leaves each.
Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash with soft spots or bruises.
- Roast the squash before pureeing: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and intensifies its flavor. Be sure to roast the squash until it is very tender, so that it purees smoothly.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real vegetables.
- Don't overcook the soup: Once the soup is simmering, let it cook just until it is heated through. Overcooking the soup can make it watery and bland.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for butternut squash soup include croutons, roasted pumpkin seeds, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese.
Conclusion:
Butternut squash soup is a delicious and comforting soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its sweet and savory flavor, butternut squash soup is a surefire hit with everyone who tries it.
