OHOW’s Favorite Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Ginger

Is there anything better than enjoying squash soup on a fall day? We don’t think so! Our favorite butternut squash soup recipe features heavy cream and ginger for a creamy and flavorful dish perfect for cozy fall evenings. Plus, this recipe is pretty simple and requires minimal ingredients. 

You start by peeling your butternut squash and cutting it in half lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds and save them for a tasty garnish! Cut your squash into cubes and heat up your stove to medium-high heat. Melt butter and coconut oil in a soup pot and add your chopped onion. Cook them down until they become translucent. Next, add your squash, ginger, and garlic. Enjoy the smell of fall floating throughout your kitchen as you mix and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. If needed, add some extra coconut oil to the pot to avoid burning the squash. 

Next, pour the heavy cream and chicken stock into the pot and bring them to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer the soup. Be sure to stir often and cook until the squash is quite soft. This process should take around 25 minutes. 

When your squash is ready, pour about a third of the soup into a blender. Pluse a few times and then blend the mixture thoroughly. Add the blended soup into a large bowl and repeat this process twice more with the remaining soup. Now you’re ready to enjoy your soup!  

Butternut Squash Seed Garnish

Serve with fresh chives. Plus, you can use the squash seeds as a garnish. To prepare the squash seeds, first, rinse them under cold water. Place the rinsed seeds in a small pot with enough salted water to cover them. Boil them for about 5 minutes and remove them from the heat. Drain and pat them dry. Toss them in a splash of olive oil and sea salt. Road the seeds in the oven for about 325 degrees F for about 10 minutes or until they become lightly browned and crispy.
