Butternut squash soup is a delicious and creamy soup made from puréed butternut squash, typically seasoned with warm spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and sometimes a hint of sweetness from maple syrup or honey.
In a large pot, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, sauté until softened.
Add the cubed butternut squash to the pot and cook for a few minutes until slightly caramelized.
Pour in the broth, cumin, and cinnamon. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the squash is tender.
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, purée the soup until smooth and creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with your choice of toppings like toasted pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of cream, croutons, or fresh herbs.
