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

Directions

step 1

Melt butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and thyme and sauté until onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add squash and chicken broth; bring to a simmer, then cook until squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble bouillon into the soup. Season with cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper, then remove from heat.

step 2

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 to get the soup moving before leaving it on to purée. Pour soup into a serving bowl. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and purée the soup in the pot.
