Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Butternut Squash Soup.

1. Step 1

   Start by melting a generous pat of butter in a large pot over medium heat, letting its rich aroma fill your kitchen.

2. Step 2

   Once the butter is bubbling, toss in some sliced onion, minced garlic, and a handful of fresh thyme.

3. Step 3

   Sauté this delightful mixture for about five minutes, allowing the onions to soften and become translucent, which will create a wonderful base for your soup.

4. Step 4

   Next, add in the cubed butternut squash and pour in enough chicken broth to cover the veggies.

5. Step 5

   Bring everything to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

6. Step 6

   To elevate the flavor, crumble in some chicken bouillon and give it a good stir.

7. Step 7

   Season your soup with ground cumin, a hint of ground allspice, and salt and black pepper to taste, adjusting the spices to your liking.

8. Step 8

   Once you’ve achieved the perfect balance of flavors, remove the pot from the heat.
