This deep golden soup is as pretty as it is yummy. If you'd like, you can intensify the garlic flavor by adding an extra bulb. The garlic is what really flavors this soup. -Linda Rose Proudfoot, Huntington, Connecticut

25 90 115

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds unpeeled butternut squash, halved and seeded
  • 2 large unpeeled onions
  • 1 small garlic bulb
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh thyme or 2 teaspoons dried thyme

  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

  • Cut squash into eight large pieces. Place cut side up in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Cut 1/4 in. off tops of onion and garlic bulbs (the end that comes to a closed point).
  • Place cut side up in baking pans. Brush with oil; sprinkle with thyme. Cover tightly and bake at 350° for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until vegetables are very tender. Uncover and let stand until lukewarm.

Puree in small batches in a blender until smooth; transfer to a large saucepan. Add the parsley, salt and pepper; heat through (do not boil). Garnish with thyme if desired. Yield: 8 servings (2 quarts).

Totally worth the time and effort. This soup comes out so creamy and delicious, I make it every fall. Just one tip: add the parsley before putting mixture into the blender to avoid a strange texture. Also, I recommend using the extra garlic or an extra large bulb, it makes a huge difference! Otherwise, beyond excellent!
