Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
2 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cubed
1 large yellow onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tsp ginger, freshly grated
4 cups (32 oz) vegetable broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
Prep
Cut the squash in half, deseed, chop into cubes.
Make the soup
Heat olive oil in a dutch oven on medium heat.
Add onion, salt, and pepper and cook until onions are soft, about 5-8 minutes.
Add squash and cook until soft, about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add garlic, rosemary, and ginger, stir.
Pour in broth, bring to boil, cover, let simmer for 20-30 minutes, until squash is tender.
Let cool.
Blend
Ladle batches of the mix into the blender.
Pulse until smooth.
Tip: The heat from the soup will become steam in the blender and possibly cause the top to pop. With a kitchen towel, keep your hand on top of the blender while blending and avoid filling with too much at a time.
If the soup is too thick, add more broth and mix.
Serve with a splash of heavy cream.
