Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- ½ onion, large-diced
- 3 cups butternut squash, peeled and large-diced
- 4 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- Kosher salt, to taste
- ½ pound Havarti cheese, medium-diced
Preparation
In a medium saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sweat for 5 minutes, until it begins to turn translucent. Add butternut squash, garlic, broth, and a few pinches of salt. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender and completely cooked. Remove from heat.
Transfer to a blender or use an immersion blender to puree mixture until completely smooth. Add cheese, blend until incorporated, and salt to taste. Serve over your favorite pasta.
