For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup. Toss the squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper, then roast at 400°F (200°C) until tender and slightly caramelized. Adjust the amount of milk and cream to achieve your desired consistency. Fresh herbs can be used in place of dried herbs. Use 3 tablespoons of fresh parsley and 1 tablespoon of fresh basil. A pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cayenne pepper can add a warm, subtle complexity to the soup.

01
StepIn a large pot, combine chicken stock, butternut squash, carrots, celery, onion, white wine, parsley, basil, and garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. (5 minutes)
02
StepReduce heat to medium and continue to cook at a gentle boil until the butternut squash is tender and easily pierced with a fork. (Approximately 1 hour)
