Ingredients

Serves:

Directions

Set a large heavy based pot or dutch oven over medium heat and add oil, thyme and cinnamon stick. As the oil heats up the cinnamon stick will unfurl and infuse the oil.

Add squash to the pot along with diced onion and sauté for 7-8 minutes until you have a little caramelization on the squash. Season with salt and pepper.

Pour in chicken stock, bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes until squash is very tender. Discard cinnamon stick and thyme stems then puree with in a blender (use an immersion blender if you have one). Give it a final taste and season once more with salt and pepper to taste.

Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl combine sour cream, honey, cinnamon and black pepper. Stir well with a whisk. Serve soup in shallow bowls with a spoonful of crema swirled into each. Garnish with fresh thyme buds, a splash of olive oil and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon if desired.

Where exactly does the "roasted" come in?

This is one of the most delicious soups I've ever made at home! I do not usually care for squash but this is fantastic. My picky husband and neighbor also agree with me...we all went back for seconds and thirds!

This was my first attempt at making soup, ever! I omitted the onion, used sea salt instead of kosher and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It was so delicious!

Great recipe. Dad thought it was restaurant quality. I was surprised it was sweeter than I expected, but really enjoyed. I used the vegetable broth to make it cholesterol free.

Thank you Gail .. So easy and quick and surprise, my picky grandkids loved it. I just upped the protein and fiber by adding a half almond butter sandwich on whole grain bread.
