Ingredients

    3 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
    1/2 Small Onion, Chopped
    Kosher Salt
    2 Sprigs Fresh Thyme
    1 Medium Butternut Squash (about 2 pounds), peeled & cut into 1-inch pieces
    1 Teaspoon Maple Syrup
    3 Tablespoons Heavy Cream (Optional)
    Freshly Ground Pepper

Directions

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the onion and 1 teaspoon salt. Strip the thyme leaves into the pot, increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and sugar and cook, stirring, until glazed, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 5 cups water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the squash is tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

Working in batches, transfer the soup to a blender, crack the lid to let steam escape and puree until smooth; return to the saucepan (or puree directly in the pan with an immersion blender). Stir in the heavy cream, if desired. Season with salt and pepper, and top as desired.

*Makes 7-2 cup servings.
