DREAMY ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
This easy roasted butternut squash soup is unbelievably creamy, satisfying, and so flavorful. It's also very simple to make, delicious when made in advance, and naturally vegan. We stir a little coconut oil right at the end before serving. This adds a faint, sweet coconut flavor. If you do not enjoy coconut, simply skip this step or stir in a little olive oil or butter.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204° C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- Trim the stem end of the squash, and then slice in half lengthwise. If the squash is too large to safely cut in half, cut the squash crosswise in half, just where the thinner end begins to widen. Then slice each piece in half, lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds. (Watch us do this in the recipe video.)
- Brush or spray the cut side of the squash with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and season with a generous pinch of salt. Place each piece of squash, cut-side-down onto the prepared baking sheet. Sneak a small sprig of rosemary underneath each piece of squash. Roast the squash until soft inside, 40 to 50 minutes.
- While the squash is in the oven, heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or deep pot over medium heat, and then add the leeks, carrots, and whole garlic cloves. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the leeks have softened and smell sweet, 5 to 8 minutes.
- Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes (optional) and cook another 30 seconds. Pour in 5 cups of the broth, add the bay leaf, and bring to a simmer. Taste the broth and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
- Cook at a low simmer for 15 minutes then turn off the heat and wait for the squash to finish roasting.
- When the squash is roasted and cool enough to handle, use a spoon to scrape out the soft flesh from the peel. Discard the peel and rosemary, and then place the squash into the pot with leeks.
- Remove the bay leaf, and then blend the soup using an immersion blender or transfer to a high speed blender, being careful not to overfill. Blend until smooth and creamy. If the soup is too thick, add some or all of the final cup of broth.
- Stir in the coconut oil, and then adjust with more salt or pepper as needed. Serve with spiced chickpeas on top.
- Open and drain a can of chickpeas, and then pat them very dry.
- Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a wide skillet over medium-high heat and then add the chickpeas. Cook, stirring often, until the chickpeas turn a light brown and look crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in a generous pinch of salt and your favorite spice blend. Transfer to a bowl lined with paper towels and enjoy.

Steps:
- To make roasted winter squash: Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat butter over medium-high heat in an ovenproof saute pan; add diced squash, salt and pepper. When squash begins to brown, place pan in oven. Roast for 15 minutes or until medium-brown on all sides. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Puree in food processor, or mash with potato masher or ricer. Measure 1 1/2 cups squash; reserve.
- To make soup: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat until hot. Add the onion, celery, carrot and cinnamon stick; saute until soft but not brown, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the broth and the coriander; bring to a boil. Simmer for several minutes. Stir in reserved squash until smooth; simmer gently to let the flavors meld, about 10 minutes. Discard the cinnamon stick.
- Puree the soup using an immersion blender or in a blender until smooth. (The soup can be made ahead to this point, cooled, covered, and refrigerated for several days or frozen for about 1 month. It will thicken as it cools and may need thinning with broth or water when reheating.)
- Return the soup to the pan and reheat gently. Add the half-and-half. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Top each serving with pumpkin seeds and toasted bread crumbs.

CHEF JOHN'S ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
My favorite fall soup of all time, roasted butternut squash soup is cheap, easy, nutrition, and absolutely delicious. If you're feeling like something a bit more substantial, try this topped with a handful of crispy bacon or diced ham.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Drizzle olive oil into large roasting pan. Add onion, carrots, garlic cloves, and a pinch of salt. Toss until coated in oil. Place squash halves flesh side up on the chopped vegetables. Sprinkle squash with additional salt.
- Roast in preheated oven until squash is tender and easily pierced with the tip of a knife, about 1 hour. Allow vegetables to cool a bit.
- Melt butter over medium heat. Butter will foam, and start to turn a golden brown. Reduce heat to low. When butter turns from golden to a light, nutty brown, remove pan from heat and immediately add sage leaves. Stir to infuse the butter with sage.
- Scoop out squash flesh and place in roasting pan with roasted chopped vegetables. Transfer mixture into large stock pot. Stir in chicken broth, brown sage butter, and maple syrup. Place pot over high heat and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low; slowly simmer to blend flavors, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Blend until very smooth with an immersion blender, 3 or 4 minutes. Pass mixture through a strainer to remove any remaining fibrous bits.
- If soup seems too thick, add a few tablespoons of water or chicken broth. Stir in apple cider vinegar, a pinch of salt (or to taste), and cayenne pepper. Garnish servings of soup with a dollop of creme fraiche and chopped chives.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH CREME FRAICHE
If you are just looking for roasted squash you could prepare this recipe though step one and serve it up as is (you should consider tossing the squash with a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar along with the butter, salt and pepper). But here the roasted squash then gets pureed with sauteed shallots and some broth, and finished with a bit of cream and a gorgeous swirl of creamy, tangy creme fraiche (available in your dairy aisle or the cheese section of the supermarket), plus some (optional) bits of crispy bacon. So simple, and really quite fabulous. You could definitely add a pinch of nutmeg, or perhaps a bit of cumin and chili powder, or some fresh or dried sage if you are looking for another layer of flavor.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the squash on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle over the melted butter, season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Spread out in a single layer on the baking sheet, allowing space in between the cubes when possible. Roast until tender and lightly browned on the bottom, about 25 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until the shallots have softened and turned a light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
- Meanwhile, if using bacon, heat a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat and add the bacon pieces. Saute until they are cooked and crisp, then transfer them with a slotted spoon to some paper towels to drain.
- Add the cooked butternut squash to the simmering broth. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender or food processor (alternately you can run the mixture through a food mill, which offers a great kind of nubby texture, or puree right in the pot with an immersion blender). Return the pureed soup to the pot. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Add the cream and heat just until warmed through. Place the creme fraiche in a small bowl and stir with a fork make it very soft and creamy. Ladle the soup into bowls, swirl in a tablespoon of the creme fraiche, and sprinkle with some crisped bacon, if using.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH CREAM SOUP WITH GINGER
This is our favorite butternut squash soup and the whole family loves it. I usually make a huge pot of soup and freeze parts of it before adding the cream. I like my soup thick, so I don't add a ton of vegetable broth, but feel free to thin it out with more broth.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND FENNEL SOUP WITH CITRUS
Roasted butternut squash, fresh fennel, onions, and garlic are blended with spices, marmalade, and cream for a deliciously decadent soup that's the perfect starter for your holiday feast! My favorite way to garnish the soup is to whip up additional heavy cream until soft peaks form, then top each bowl with a small dollop. I then lightly drizzle each dollop with extra marmalade that's been melted in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds.
