Recipe View 5 mins Return the pureed soup to the saucepan. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Gently reheat if necessary, and serve immediately. (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try roasting the squash with a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of brown sugar before baking.
Garnish with a swirl of crème fraîche, toasted pumpkin seeds, or a sprinkle of chopped chives for an elegant presentation.
If you don’t have heavy cream, half-and-half can be used, but the soup will be less rich.
Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cayenne pepper for a hint of warmth and spice.
