Butternut Squash Soup with Thyme and Parmesan
Ripe in the fall, butternut squash is slightly sweet, has a great texture, and makes an excellent soup. Perfect for Thanksgiving!
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic
- 3-4 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 4 cups vegetable stock
- 1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Directions
- Cook the onion, garlic, and thyme in the olive oil until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and saute for another minute or so.
