Happy Sunday everyone! We have a special installment of #SundaySupper for you guys as today marks the one year birthday of the launch of #SundaySupper. And to celebrate, we’re all choosing recipes from contributors of #SundaySupper that have inspired us in the past year.
I couldn’t help but choose Brianne‘s “soul warming” butternut squash soup, especially with the cold weather upon us (it finally dipped below 50 degrees here in LA!). I adapted the recipe a bit by roasting the butternut squash beforehand to really bring out its flavors but other than that, this recipe is perfect as is. It’s creamy, it’s comforting and incredibly soothing.
Is there anything better this time of year?

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place butternut squash onto prepared baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, salt and pepper, to taste, and gently toss to combine. Place into oven and roast until softened and cooked through, about 40 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before pureeing in a blender until smooth.
3. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and sage and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Add butternut squash puree, chicken broth and 1/2 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in milk and Greek yogurt; season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve immediately, garnished with heavy cream and walnuts.
