Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Blue Cheese image

This dish was so delicious my family asked me to write down the recipe. The blue cheese crumbles add a delicious touch to the dish. The soup can be served hot or cold, but tastes best at room temperature.

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

aluminum foil
1 large butternut squash, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cloves garlic, or more to taste, peeled
½ teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons avocado oil, divided
2 tablespoons butter, divided
1 medium onion
½ cup chicken broth, or more as needed
1 cup milk, or more as needed
½ cup half-and-half, or more as needed
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
4 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Toss butternut squash, garlic cloves, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Combine 4 tablespoons oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook until butter melts. Pour over butternut squash-garlic mixture and stir until squash is evenly coated. Spread squash out on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until squash is soft and lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add roasted butternut squash and 1/2 cup chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove and let soup cool slightly until warm, but no longer steaming hot. Stir in 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup half-and-half, and pepper.
  • Puree soup with an immersion blender until smooth. Add more broth, milk, or half-and-half if soup is too thick.
  • Ladle soup into bowls and sprinkle with crumbled Gorgonzola. The soup tastes best at room temperature.

I'm not sure why, but my soup turned out bitter. I think I might have used the wrong type of squash.

This soup is a bit too rich for my taste. I think I'll use less blue cheese next time.

I'm allergic to blue cheese, so I used crumbled goat cheese instead. It was still very tasty.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup was too thick. I had to add more broth to thin it out.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my soup turned out bland and watery. I think I might have added too much broth.
