How to Roast the Butternut Squash 

 

The hardest part about roasting the squash is slicing it in half, haha! Squash are hard and difficult to cut, so make sure you use a good knife and do it carefully! Once you have it sliced open use a spoon to hollow out and remove the seeds. You don’t have to take off the skin which saves a lot of time and aggravation. Roast the squash on a baking sheet with the flesh side facing up. Before putting it in the oven brush it with olive oil and seasoning. It will take about an hour at 425°F for the squash to cook through fully. 

Once you can easily stick a knife through the flesh of the butternut squash it is done and ready for you to scoop out. It should easily scoop out of the skin – at this point you use the flesh for the soup and discard the skin!

How to Make Butternut Squash White Bean Soup

 

Once the butternut squash is roasted, add the flesh to a large soup pot. To the pot with the squash add a can of drained white beans 1 cup of vegetable broth. Use an immersion blender to purée the soup until completely smooth. Then add the remaining 2 cups of broth. 

Bring the soup to a boil to heat it through. At this point, taste the soup and see if you want to add any salt and or black pepper. You season the butternut squash before roasting so it has a lot of flavor, but if you want to add some more go for it! 

Serve the soup hot. It pairs well with a slice of good warm bread or a salad! It could also be served as an appetizer before a larger meal.
