To make the Easy Butternut Squash Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and add 1 chopped onion. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the onions are translucent and tender, about 5 minutes.
Add 3 minced garlic cloves and cook for 1 minute.
Stir in the cubed butternut squash, 4 cups vegetable broth, ¾ teaspoon sea salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 10-15 minutes or until the butternut squash is tender.
In a small skillet, heat ¼ cup olive oil until hot. Add the sage leaves and fry in batches for about 10-15 seconds or until the oil stops sizzling around the edges. Carefully transfer the leaves to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Use an immersion blender to puréе the soup. Alternatively, cool slightly and puréе the soup in batches in a blender, then return to the pot.
Stir in ½ cup heavy cream and let the soup heat through.
Serve piping hot, garnished with fried sage leaves and a drizzle of extra cream if you wish. Enjoy!
