- Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat.
- Add in the onion, 1 tsp of salt, and strip the thyme leaves into the pot. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally until the onion is soft.
- Add in the squash and sugar, stir and cook until glazed, 3-4 minutes.
- Add in 5 cups of water and the 2 tsp of Better Than Bouillon and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered until the squash is very tender, 15-20 minutes.
- Working in batches transfer to a blender and blend with the lid cracked (to let steam escape) until you have a smooth puree, then return to the pot. If you have an immersion blender you can use that in the pot instead.
- Stir in the heavy cream (optional) and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve with your favorite toppings.
Notes
If cutting a whole butternut squash, wear protective gloves so the squash residue doesn't get stuck on your hands. Using pre-cut butternut squash saves time. Topping with crispy bacon, prosciutto, or pancetta is highly recommeneded. Make sure the squash is very soft to ensure a smooth soup.
