Ingredients:

To make this soup, you'll need: 1 butternut squash, 1 onion, 2 cloves garlic, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, 4 cups of vegetable broth, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. You will also need a blender or food processor.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise, and scoop out the seeds. Place the two halves on a baking sheet, flesh side down, and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the flesh is soft and tender. Once cooked, scoop out the flesh and set aside.

2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté for a few minutes until fragrant. Then add the squash, salt, pepper, cumin, and ginger. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes.

4. Remove the pot from the heat and use a blender or food processor to blend the mixture until it is smooth.

5. Return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for a few more minutes until the soup is heated through.
