Ingredients

• 4 cups butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and diced
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cups vegetable stock
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and carrots to the pot, and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the carrots are slightly softened.

Step 3

Add the diced butternut squash to the pot, and stir to combine with the onions and carrots.

Step 4

Pour in the vegetable stock, ensuring the squash is fully submerged. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the squash and carrots are fork-tender.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat and carefully puree the soup using an immersion blender, or transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth.

Step 7

Return the pureed soup to the pot, and stir in the heavy cream, honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 8

Heat the soup gently over low heat for 5-10 minutes, ensuring it is warmed through but not boiling.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls, and garnish with fresh parsley or chives, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy!
