Cooking tip: You can cut down on prep time by purchasing pre-sliced butternut squash cubes.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 1 1/4 pounds Butternut Winter Squash
- 2 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1/4 cup sliced Onions
- 2 14.5 ounces cans Chicken Broth, Bouillon or Consomme
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 2 cups Yellow Summer Squash, raw, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Peel and cube butternut squash. Toss with 1 tablespoon oil and half the salt and pepper. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast, turning once, until slightly softened, about 15 minutes.
- Toss yellow squash and onions with remaining oil, salt and pepper. Add to baking sheet with butternut squash and continue roasting until all vegetables are tender, about 20 more minutes.
- In a large sauce pot over medium heat, simmer pumpkin pie spice with tomato paste, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add roasted vegetables and broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 20 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cream.
- Purée soup with an immersion blender (or in a regular blender in batches). Season to taste with additional salt and pepper.
- Garnish with sour cream and/or toasted pumpkin seeds, if desired.
