Description

A real savory squash soup that is not pureed to death!

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 butternut squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon butter, or to taste
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, pressed
½ cup shredded carrot, or to taste
½ teaspoon dried marjoram, or to taste
½ teaspoon celery seed, or to taste
2 pinches cayenne pepper, or to taste
4 cups chicken stock
¼ cup heavy whipping cream, or more to taste
2 ounces cream cheese, or more to taste

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
2. Rub olive oil on cut-side of butternut squash halves; sprinkle each with salt and pepper. Lay squash, cut-side down, on prepared baking sheet.
3. Bake squash in the preheated oven until tender, about 1 hour. Scoop squash flesh into a bowl and mash.
4. Melt butter in a pot over medium heat. Cook and stir onion and garlic in melted butter until onion is slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add carrots; cook and stir until carrot and onion are tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Stir mashed squash, marjoram, celery seed, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper into onion mixture; cook and stir until heated through, 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in chicken stock; bring mixture to a boil.
6. Gradually add cream and cream cheese to squash mixture; stir until cream cheese is melted and incorporated. Bring to a simmer and cook until flavors blend, 30 minutes.
