Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Vegetables

    Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion and minced garlic until softened, about 5 minutes.

    Tip: Stir frequently to avoid burning the garlic.
  1. Cook the Squash

    Add the peeled and cubed butternut squash and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until the squash is tender, about 20 minutes.

    Tip: Use chicken broth for a richer flavor or vegetable broth for a vegetarian version.
  1. Puree the Soup

    Use an immersion blender or regular blender to puree the soup until smooth. Stir in ground nutmeg, heavy cream, salt and pepper.

    Tip: If using a regular blender, puree the soup in batches to avoid overflow.
  1. Garnish and Serve

    Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

    Tip: Swirl in a little extra cream for a visually appealing finish.
