The Ultimate Butternut Squash Soup That’s Like a Warm Hug in a Bowl

Butternut squash soup in white bowl with cream swirl and thyme garnish

A warm and creamy butternut squash soup made with fresh thyme, spices, and chicken broth, blended to a smooth, velvety texture. Perfect for a cozy meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons butter
  • ½ onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • ½ butternut squash – peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cube chicken bouillon
  • 1 pinch ground cumin
  • 1 pinch ground allspice
  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat.
  2. Add onion, garlic, and thyme, and sauté until onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add squash and chicken broth; bring to a simmer, then cook until squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Crumble bouillon into the soup. Season with cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper, then remove from heat.
  5. Working in batches, pour soup into a blender, filling no more than halfway. Hold the lid in place with a kitchen towel, then carefully start the blender using a few quick pulses before blending until smooth.
  6. Pour soup into a serving bowl. Alternatively, use a stick blender to purée the soup directly in the pot.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth and omit chicken bouillon.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs or a drizzle of cream for extra richness.
