In this simple soup, butternut squash and garlic roast together before being pureed with vegetable stock. It is astonishingly flavorful given its short ingredient list and minimal effort. Loved by all, this is a fall and winter staple. Adapted from Sally Schneider's A New Way to Cook. Notes: You need 1 whole head/bulb of garlic for this recipe — not a single clove.
