Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ounce (2 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
2 small garlic cloves, minced (2 teaspoons)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
2 stems fresh rosemary
4 fresh sage leaves
2 pounds buttercup, butternut, Hubbard, or kabocha squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 2-inch cubes
1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2 medium), peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
3 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium chicken stock, plus more if needed
2 cups water, plus more if needed
Herbed Crostini

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium stockpot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and 1 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Place rosemary and sage on a small square of cheesecloth, and tie with kitchen string. Stir in the herb sachet, squash, potatoes, stock, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until vegetables are soft, about 15 minutes. Discard herb sachet. Let cool slightly.
  • Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth. Adjust to desired consistency with stock or water. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with crostini.

This soup was a waste of time and ingredients. It was bland, watery, and the crostini were burnt.

This soup was okay, but I've had better. The flavor was a bit flat and the texture was a bit grainy.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning. The herbed crostini were good, though.

This soup was easy to make and very tasty. I used a combination of butternut squash and pumpkin, and it turned out great. The herbed crostini were a nice touch, too.
