Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

It is easy to make, high nutrient and low in fat since I'm using sour cream instead of heavy cream.

Ingredients

  • 1 kg butternut squash (2 lb) peeled and cubed
  • 30 grams butter (2 tablespoons)
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 2 carrots sliced
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 liter vegetable or chicken stock 4 cups (or more, to taste)
  • 115 grams sour cream (1/2 cup) (you can use heavy cream)
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, toss cubed squash and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Bake for around 30 minutes or until butternut squash is tender, stirring at halftime (baking time depends on the size of squash).
  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and carrots, and saute until softened, around 5-7 minutes. Add roasted butternut squash and minced garlic, cook for 1 minute longer. Pour vegetable stock, bring to a boil and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Add sour cream (heavy cream) and season with salt and pepper.
  • Blend the soup using an immersion blender (if you don't have one, transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender). Add more stock or water if your soup seems to thick.
  • Garnish with roasted pumpkin seeds and cream.
