Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, smashed
  • 2 fresh sage leaves
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 medium canned plum tomatoes
  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, halved, seeded, and diced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth or water
  • 1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan, optional

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, sage, 1 teaspoon of the salt and season with pepper, to taste. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until soft and fragrant, about 15 minutes. Raise heat to medium-high, add the tomatoes, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the tomatoes break up and the onions brown slightly, about 7 minutes. Add the squash and the remaining teaspoon salt, and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the squash is tender, about 12 minutes. Add the broth, bring to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, until the vegetables tender, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender, or with an immersion blender. Return the soup to the pot and reheat over medium heat. Stir in the vinegar. Serve the soup in warm bowls with a touch of parmesan cheese if desired.

    Heavenly

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    Ok, this is definitely the best soup I have ever tried to make, but quite possibly the best soup I have ever eaten. The... flavor is amazing, perfect for a cold day. I can see where one may be confused by how many tomatos the recipe calls for. It seems odd to use a random 2 medium sized tomatos from a can. I opened a big can of italian style plum tomatos and pulled out three to use. There is no mistaking, however, the amazing taste of the garlic, onions, and tomatos in this soup. This soup is a winner and I will be making it a permanent part of my recipe collection.Read more

    A BIG HIT!!!

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I had two beautiful butternut squash and knew I wanted to make a soup. I followed this recipe pretty close with just a few... changes to "kick it up a notch". To cut down in the prep time I cut the squash in half, cleaned them out and put them in the microwave for 8 minutes (2 halves at a time). Let them cool and scooped out the squash and added it to the sauted onion (used red onion), garlic and tomatos. I had fresh apples on hand and decide d that would go well in the soup - -sliced and cored (left peel on) one large Gala apple and threw it in with the squash. For an extra "bite" I added green chili powder and some red chili power, not too much, just enough to have a little "bite". I garnished the top with sourcream with a dash of red chili powder. LIving in southern AZ we like our foods with a spice.. I took this to a gathering of friends and it was a big hit. I will be making this again this winter.Read more
