Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 3 pounds butternut squash, peeled and cubed

  • 1 large onion, sliced

  • 3 tablespoons butter

  • 1 tablespoon sea salt, plus more to taste

  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked white pepper, plus more to taste

  • 4 cups chicken broth, or more as needed

  • ¼ cup honey

  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg, or more to taste

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over high heat. Cook and stir squash in hot oil until completely browned, about 10 minutes. Add onion, butter, sea salt, and white pepper; cook and stir together until onions are completely tender and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.

  2. Pour in chicken broth and honey and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until squash is tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. Pour the mixture into a blender no more than half full. Cover and hold the lid in place, then pulse a few times before leaving on to blend. Purée in batches until smooth.

  4. Stir in cream and nutmeg, then season to taste with salt and white pepper.
