Recipe Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Ingredients :

• 1 butternut squash (3lb) cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1 Onion diced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 4 slices bacon, diced
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic
• to taste kosher salt
• to taste Ground black pepper
• to taste red pepper flakes
• 4 slices bacon
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 1/2 cups chicken stock
• Goat cheese
• Chopped chives

Method :

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
2. Place butternut squash, onion, bell pepper and diced bacon in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add olive oil and garlic; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine.
3. Place into oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until butternut squash is tender, stirring at halftime.
4. While squash is in the oven, heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Add rest of bacon strips and cook until brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
5. Heat a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add butternut squash mixture and thyme, and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in chicken stock and puree with an immersion blender.
6. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 5-10 minutes. If the soup is too thick, add more chicken stock as needed until desired consistency is reached.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with bacon, goat cheese and chives, if desired.
