Simple Butternut Squash Soup step by step
- This is the size butternut squash I used. It was 500 g (450 g after peeled and seeds removed)..
- Peel butternut squash and remove seeds. Chop into bite-sized cubes. Cut onion into thin slices..
- Melt butter in a medium pot and sauté sliced onions in low heat until starting to turn slightly brown (about 7-10 minutes)..
- Add the butternut squash to the pot and stir around to coat with the butter and onions..
- Pour in enough broth to cover everything (about 450-500 ml). If using unsalted broth, add 1/2 tsp salt too..
- Bring to a boil then turn to low heat. Cover with lid and simmer for about 15 minutes until squash is soft..
- Turn off heat and purée the soup with a mixer. If you don't have a mixer of some sort, try mashing it up as much as possible with a fork (it will be a chunky soup this way). Taste and adjust seasoning..
- Dish out into bowls and garnish with some chopped parsley and or toasted cumin! (To toast cumin, simply heat about 1/2 tsp in a dry frying pan for a few minutes until it smells good. Be careful not to burn)..
