Roasted Butternut Squash Soup with Boursin (Frozen Squash)

A garlic and herb roasted butternut squash soup that gets its creaminess from Boursin melded with the squash in the oven, not from heavy cream. The sweet and spicy finish comes from hot honey and pumpkin seeds.

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 5.3 oz Garlic & Herb Boursin Cheese use dairy free if preferred
  • 1 small onion cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 24 oz frozen butternut squash
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 2 sprigs thyme
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp salt + more to taste
  • 1.5 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • Hot honey for drizzling
  • Pumpkin seeds for topping, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Add the Boursin cheese to the center of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Add the onions and frozen butternut squash around it. Add the garlic cloves and the thyme sprigs and drizzle everything with olive oil.
  • Bake for 45 minutes until browned and softened.
  • Remove the thyme leaves from the sprigs and add them to the baking dish.
  • Add everything into a pot on the stove. Add the chicken broth, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
  • Use an immersion blender to blend it until smooth. Heat over medium heat for a few minutes until warmed through.
  • Serve with a drizzle of hot honey and pumpkin seeds (and a swirl of heavy cream or half and half to make it look pretty if you want!) Enjoy!

Notes

  • Frozen or fresh: add the frozen squash straight from the bag, or thaw it first if you prefer. Fresh butternut squash works too, with the same roasting time.
  • Too thick? Blend in more broth until it's how you like it. An immersion blender gets it smooth; just be patient.
  • Dairy free: use dairy-free Boursin.
  • Vegetarian: use vegetable broth.
  • Leftovers keep in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
