    How this recipe came to be:

    Back when I first started blogging, I used to belong to a cooking and baking group called Sunday Supper.

    We'd post new recipes every Sunday, and every week there was a new theme we needed to build our recipe around.

    I developed and published this particular recipe back in November of 2013 when the theme was "Squashing Winter."

     

    Why this recipe works:

    What makes this recipe so different from all the other butternut squash soups you've had before, you ask?

    It's the oven roasting of the squash, sweet potatoes, apple, and various vegetables that make this a deeply flavorful and heartwarming soup.

    It's definitely not that 'one-note' butternut squash soup, and I just know you'll be knocked over by its depth of flavor!

    This recipe for Roasted Butternut Squash and Vegetables Soup will no doubt "squash" the competition! 😉

    Can this roasted butternut squash soup be made in advance?

    This soup can be made a few days in advance of when you're planning on serving it which makes it a hostess' (or busy mom's) dream come true!  

    This soup can be stored for up to 5 days in the refrigerator in an air-tight container.

    Can this soup be frozen?

    Yes! It freezes like a dream!

    Cool it completely and then store it in an air-tight freezer container for up to 6 months.

    How to make roasted butternut squash and vegetable soup:

    • Preheat oven to 425-degrees.
    • Add the halved and prepared butternut squash, apple chunks, and sweet potato chunks onto a baking sheet.
    • Add the prepared carrots, celery, and onion to a second baking sheet.
    • Drizzle both baking sheets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
    • Season the butternut squash with freshly grated nutmeg and roast the vegetables in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes.
    • Set aside the roasted apples, onions, sweet potatoes, carrots, and celery (set aside) and return the butternut squash back in the oven to continue roasting for an additional 20 minutes, or until fork tender.
    • Remove the squash and cool.
    • Working in two batches, scoop half the roasted squash, and half the roasted vegetables into a high speed blender.
    • Add 1 cup chicken stock, ½ cup dry white wine, ¼ cup half and half, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper, per batch.
    • Cover and blend on high until smooth and creamy.
    • Add the soup to a stockpot to heat, OR add to an air-tight container to freeze or store in the refrigerator (for up to 5 days).
    • Continue with the second batch of soup just as the first.
    • Serve hot, and garnish with pepita seeds, if desired.

    Can this soup be made with an immersion blender?

    Yes!

    First, roast the squash and vegetables as directed in the recipe.

    Add the fully roasted vegetables (including the scooped out butternut squash) to a large stockpot.

    Add the stock, wine, half and half, along with the seasonings to the pot.

    Turn the heat to medium/low, and bring to a simmer.

    Carefully submerge an immersion blender into the pot and blend until creamy.

    Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with pepita seeds if desired.

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

      I have to try this because you have combined butternut squash and sweet potatoes which are my favorites! The apple in it sounds wonderful too.
