Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Garlic Toast
Roasting the squash and onion first concentrates their sugars, so the pureed soup tastes deep and almost caramel-sweet. A thread of cream and a crisp slice of garlic toast make it feel like a small occasion.
Test kitchen note: Save a few tablespoons of the roasting pan juices and whisk them into the soup at the end for extra roasted flavor.
Method 5 steps
-
Heat the oven to 425F. Toss the squash and onion with the olive oil, salt and pepper and roast on a sheet pan for 35 to 40 minutes, until browned and soft.
-
Transfer to a pot with the stock and nutmeg and simmer for 10 minutes.
-
Blend until silky, stir in the cream and adjust the seasoning.
-
Mix the butter, garlic and half the parsley, spread on the baguette slices and toast under the broiler for 2 minutes.
-
Ladle the soup into bowls, drizzle with cream, sprinkle the remaining parsley and prop a garlic toast on each rim.
That is the whole pie. Enjoy every slice.
