Ingredients
  

  • 1 butternut squash medium sized
  • 1 shallot
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 cup vegetable stock approximately
  • 1 tbsp creme fraiche
  • fresh or dried thyme

Instructions
 

  • Cut squash into slices and roast in the oven until tender (about 20 min). You can steam it as well if it’s easier for you. After it’s done, remove the skin and mash with a fork.
  • Sauté one shallot and garlic on a bit of olive oil together with herbs. When done, add in mashed squash and a bit of stock. Bring it to a boil and simmer just for a couple of minutes to combine.
  • Now it’s time to blend it well and mash through a sieve to remove any remaining chunks.
  • Bring blended mixture back on the stove and add more stock. Keep adding until it reaches desired thickness. Now add creme fraiche and season to taste.
  • For best experience, serve with croutons.
