I am the lone ranger when it comes to liking ginger in my household. My children and husband run from it. I personally adore the earthy, bitter, zesty spice. In small doses, it can awaken a bland dish into a vibrant masterpiece. The fact that I am the only one in my house that loves this spice doesn't stop me from creating this soup over and over again. I love the rich buttery flavors contrasting with the spicy ginger and the sweet maple syrup. I have seconds and thirds; and sometimes I don't share! But most of the time I make it to eat with friends. My friends are not as picky as my family and they favor ginger, so this easy Roasted Butternut Squash Soup recipe is a special treat to enjoy with them.
When I first began roasting butternut squash, I would prepare it the hard way. I would peel it, then forcefully cut it (if it is large, this is very difficult), and finally chop it to roast. I found a much easier way to roast it thanks to Facebook and Pinterest. Here are the tricks that I learned.
Pierce butternut squash with a fork then microwave about 5 minutes to soften.
Pierce butternut squash with fork, then microwave to soften.
Now that it is softened, it is easy to cut. Cut off both ends of butternut squash. Then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out seeds. Place squash on a baking dish and roast approximately 30 minutes or completely softened to touch at 350 degrees in oven.
The skin should easily peel off or you can scoop out the squash for the soup. Immediately add squash to the blender with remaining ingredients to finish off this easy roasted butternut squash soup recipe.
