Ingredients

  • 1 medium butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme, chopped
  • ¾ cup milk

How to Make Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Herb Biscuits

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). On a baking sheet, toss the cubed butternut squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, sauté the diced onion in a little olive oil until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and dried thyme, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Add the roasted butternut squash to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  4. Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, carefully transfer the mixture to a regular blender in batches. Return the blended soup to the pot.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Keep the soup warm on low heat.
  6. For the herb biscuits, in a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped fresh thyme.
  7. Add the milk gradually, mixing until just combined. Do not overwork the dough.
  8. Drop spoonfuls of the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  9. Serve the creamy butternut squash soup hot, alongside the fluffy herb biscuits.

Tips for the Best Results

  • For a deeper flavor, roast the squash until caramelized.
  • Adjust the cream to your preference for a richer soup.
  • Use fresh herbs for the biscuits for an aromatic finish.

Easy Variations

  • Add a pinch of nutmeg or cinnamon to the soup for a warm spice.
  • Substitute half of the heavy cream with coconut milk for a lighter option.
  • Mix in some shredded cheese to the biscuit dough for extra flavor.

What to Serve With It

  • A simple green salad with a tangy vinaigrette.
  • Crunchy apple slices with a sprinkle of cinnamon.
  • A glass of crisp white wine, like Sauvignon Blanc.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat the soup gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring occasionally. The biscuits are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored for a day or two in a sealed container.
