Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 (3 pound) butternut squash – peeled, seeded, and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 bulb fresh fennel, white part only, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 medium onion, cut into 8 wedges
4 cloves garlic, lightly crushed
3 tablespoons olive oil
½ teaspoon salt (Optional)
4 cups chicken broth
¼ cup all-natural marmalade (such as Smuckers® Natural)
½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
½ cup heavy cream
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste (Optional)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine butternut squash, fennel, onion, and garlic on the baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and salt and toss until well combined.
Roast vegetables in the preheated oven until soft and lightly browned, 35 to 40 minutes.
Puree 1/2 of the vegetable mixture in a blender with 1/2 of the broth until smooth. Pour mixture into a large saucepan set over low heat. Puree the rest of the vegetables and broth; add to the saucepan.
Stir in marmalade and pumpkin and heat through over low heat. Stir in cream before serving. Season with salt and pepper.
Cook's Notes:
Use a vegetable peeler to make peeling the squash easier.
Instead of using a blender, you can combine the roasted vegetables and broth in a large saucepan and puree with an immersion blender.
To make this vegan, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and coconut milk instead of heavy cream.
