  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 butternut squash – cubed medium sized, about 5 cups
  • 1 small shallot – peeled
  • 1 small bunch sage
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • black pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 34 cups vegetable broth – adjust to your thickness preference
  • 1 cup cottage cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Add squash, garlic, sage, and shallot to a nonstick sheet pan or one lined with parchment paper. Coat squash in oil and seasonings (salt, paprika, cinnamon, nutmeg, thyme). Bake for 15-20 minutes and then remove the garlic and sage. The garlic should be softened and browned when done. Add shallot and squash back to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes.
  3. Remove sage leaves from stem. Add shallot, garlic, sage, and squash to a blender and blend with broth, maple syrup, and cottage cheese.
  4. Serve soup warm. If necessary after blending, warm it up on the stovetop.

Notes

  • You can substitute vegetable broth with bone broth for extra protein.
  • Adjust broth quantity to reach your preferred soup thickness.
