This creamy and delicious Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is made without adding cream. And the best part of it is the amazing topping made with bread, prosciutto, pumpkin seeds, and sage.
November, eh?
Hello, hello – I hope you all are doing well. You know what I didn’t realize? It’s November! Well, of course I knew that (Especially, because in the previous post I shared our Halloween decorations), but from the food blogger’s point of view – not really! Just a couple days ago I though I would have MANY posts until I start my holiday season, but nope.
Since I am going to start sharing my holiday recipes this year early (As well as last year) – before even American Thanksgiving – I will only have two autumn recipes to post next week. Plus, this Roasted Butternut Squash Soup. Please stay tuned as Daisy will appear in one of the recipes! (Not as the ingredient, if you’re concerned. Lol)
However, I am not done with apples, sweet potatoes, and squashes as I am going to continue sharing some ideas once the holidays are over. After all, we don’t have many seasonal products associated with the winter time anyway.
As you probably notices, I have already shared some soup ideas this fall. That’s the soup season, right?
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup
There is not much going on with the soup itself – just the roasted squash combined with herbs and seasonings. Importantly, I didn’t use any cream. Instead, as almost every time, I used a knob of butter, for an extra smooth and silky texture. If you’re concerned about some extra calories, just half it.
The best part of this soup is the topping. It’s scrumptious, my friends! Country-style loaf (Like Ciabatta), toasted in olive oil along with sage, prosciutto, and pumpkin seeds until golden? You don’t want to miss this! Indeed, it’s an excellent snacking material, so be careful; otherwise you might end up having your soup without any topping.
That’s actually everything I wanted to share with you today. What’s you time managing? Are you going to start sharing your holiday ideas soon?
Cheers for now.
What a marvelous autumnal soup! Perfect on a chilly night or even for Thanksgiving! And I am coveting your gorgeous copper pot!! Beautiful!
Glad Daisy isn’t appearing in one of your upcoming recipes Ben. Ha ha! Lynne and I have been enjoying butternut squash soup here over the last couple of weeks. I haven’t roasted it though or added sage or smoked paprika. Or topped it with such delicious looking toppings! Looking forward to giving your variation a try!
Butternut squash is a favorite lunch soup for me. Our recipes for the soup are very similar, but I don’t add sage or smoked paprika. But, I should because it sounds great. Your topping looks wonderful as well and shall be tried…
I love butternut squash soup – especially a simple one, like this. But these toppings – such a perfect way to take it over the top! Love it, and the prosciutto addition is downright genius!
You’ve outdone yourself with these toppings, Ben! My mouth is literally watering. And you soup really does look SO creamy, amazing that there is no actual cream involved. Definitely a must try recipe!
Oh, those toppings! That bowl of soup looks like a piece of art. :-) Prosciutto, toasted bread cubes, pumpkin seeds? That’s the very definition of fall comfort food right there. And I love that you can get creative with the toppings while keeping the soup itself simple. Sounds quite tasty, my friend!
