Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

  • Spread the vegetables on a parchment paper-covered baking sheet.

  • Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add the roasted vegetables (reserving some roasted cauliflower for garnish, if desired) and vegetable broth to the saucepan.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes.
  • Using a blender or food processor, puree the soup until smooth.
  • Return the pureed soup to the saucepan.

  • Serve the soup hot, garnished with finely chopped parsley, roasted cauliflower pieces, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil.

Wine Advice:

This creamy and flavorful soup pairs well with a medium-bodied white wine such as Chardonnay or Viognier. Their fruity and floral notes complement the sweetness of the butternut squash while balancing the richness of the soup.
