Dad's Simple Butternut Squash Soup

[@DadhowdoI]

Ingredients You’ll Need: 1 large butternut squash (about 3 pounds), halved vertically and seeds removed 1 tablespoon olive oil (plus more for drizzling) 1 teaspoon salt 2 heads of garlic, pressed or minced 1 teaspoon maple syrup ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg Freshly ground black pepper (to taste) 3 to 4 cups (24 to 32 ounces) vegetable broth (as needed) 1 to 2 tablespoons butter (to taste) Directions: Start by cutting off the top and bottom of the butternut squash, then slice it down the middle lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Set the squash aside. Chop 1 onion and mince 2 garlic cloves. Score the flesh of the squash with shallow cuts in a crisscross pattern, drizzle it with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash, onions, and garlic on a baking sheet and roast in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes, or until the flesh is tender and caramelized. Once the squash is done, scoop out the flesh and place it in a mixing bowl or blender. Add a drizzle of maple syrup, the chopped onion, garlic, and 3-4 cups of vegetable broth (start with 3 cups and adjust for your desired consistency). Blend everything until smooth. Pour the blended soup into a pot and simmer over low heat for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of butter for a rich, creamy finish.

I love how that smells like watermelon….😊

[@roxanaconception]

I’ve made baby food out of this … cutting it in half and putting them with about half an inch in water in the oven

[@luckrequired5382]

It really is a great base for soo many soups, but is amazing on its own too. If you make it thicker, you can use it as a dip. :)

[@SaltyGypsy]

Dad, I think you meant to say 2 heads of garlic. ❤

[@DadhowdoI]

@@SaltyGypsy Good catch 👍🏻

[@sealost5914]

Loved the dad joke, it's always great seeing you post.

[@MyriamBernard13]

For me, it's the way he reacts to them. "Ahhh" KILLS ME

[@sealost5914]

@MyriamBernard13 it really does, I have aleays been glad that I came across his channel.

[@kalinaukraine1419]

Dad, why couldn't you be like this??? Having no father, I watch you and cry. Maybe this is the best therapy of all time. With love from Ukraine.

[@Seoulsearch616]

Someone let Dad loose in the kitchen again! Love it! 🥰 Have a blessed week Dad! 🌷

[@JP-lx3zz]

Youre the best Dad I never had ❤

[@Snaperific28]

Looks good! One thing I also do is save the seeds for planting - given the cost of groceries going up constantly, I garden in deck pots every chance I get. Just something for the viewers to consider.

[@ABHI-30ab01]

[@Романівна-и3ы]

I love you, the soup is very delicious, dad. ❤

[@markt920]

Just heard you in the BBC Global News Podcast and I ran here to say thank you for all your work and in helping many !!! I owe my ability to tie a tie from you since my middle school orchestra concerts and now for Graduation haha. Have a great day :)

[@HEIDYBLACKSTAR]

Thanks You for your videos. This soup looks delicious 😊

[@magdalenas.3595]

I will definitely try it. Thank you for the receipt and instructions dad, looks delicious xx

[@TylerVerden]

I am 45 years old and I father of two children. I am grateful and happy for your videos. Everything you do is great and brings maximum benefit to your subscribers. Thank you for that. I also want to thank you for motivation me learn English. 😊 Thank you so much!

[@eelliott9581]

I saved your recipe and will put it in my book. I recently made some soup with precut squash, sweet potato and one Fiji apple. It was delicious!

[@Ul-lk9et]

You are so kind dad thank you 😊❤

[@halall0-0]

I saw a post about your channel on Facebook and came here to tell you that your content is really great. I have a father but he treats me badly and I wish my dad like you :(

[@giovannarusso2601]

Thank you Dad❤️

[@realtalk675]

You are a good man ! Thank you for being a youtube dad for many

[@bonnienichalson5151]

Love your DAD JOKES THE BEST ! I Feel Squashed 👍🎉

[@Sunshine11128]

Hey dad! I am subscriber who really comments but and i would i like to thank you! I do have a present and very good dad and mom, but both of them are usually very busy from my childhood, hence most of the times i was raised by my grandma and my joint family. When i shifted away for school, I wasn't treated the best way, moreover ignored. I was broader line depressed, and my parents did try their best, but there's only so much they could do. Thank you for being a part of my recovery dad. Being an only child, i got very lonely. So when i found your channel it was like a comfort space for me. I enjoy coking, and learning new recipes. I tried this recipe out but it didn't work out so great for me, i might give it another go! Have a nice day dad.

[@Deyadeaaa]

This is so wholesome! God bless you too! ❤🙏✨

[@franks1039]

You’re the best Dad ❤🎉

[@tammyr2966]

Looks delicious! I love butternut squash soup and actually canned some butternut squash last year, so it’s easier and quicker to make this soup! You can actually grow butternut squash in a pot, if you have space on the ground for it to trail from the pot. I have done this on my patio, living in an apartment!

[@jenniferpreston-xh7cj]

Hi Dad ❤️ these videos make me feel safe and happy

[@mojojojo1211]

so peaceful to watch

[@mirsadventure]

Thank you! This is my favorite soup 😊

[@norm5785]

Soup is awesome especially this time of the year

[@roxanaconception]

This dad is just awesome…😂 a pun-kin 👍🏻 🤔I think all melons smell the same.. I know pumpkins do as well😋

[@KarimWli]

You are great man thank you very much for your hustle and effort

[@michaeliglesias2806]

My wife loves soup and had to share you posted this.

[@SouthernGothicYT]

Thanks, Dad. I love butternut squash

[@jugz9130]

That’s cute , hope you’re doing good

[@kellyfines7922]

I just tried making the soup, and it turned out pretty well! It was a great recipe and easy to follow 😊 Thank you for sharing, Dad!

[@lifeoflionheart]

[@hilkom2]

Yum!! Thanks for the recipe. Can't wait to try it 🥰

[@KristiCorbett]

[@isoeno]

I needed this. I love butternut squash.

[@MzladyGrinn]

[@rishaa682]

This looks delish

[@hexenzirkel_]

[@SaltyGypsy]

Your Bob Ross vibes are immaculate.

[@SatoRonin]

Sir I just came across your channel from another person's video and had to come subscribe to your channel as what you are doing is so beautiful and helpful to thous that don't have some one to teach them these things. Thank-you for all you do! 🤘👿🤘

[@hollyobrien376]

Tip for scraping the seeds-an ice cream scoop, the king with the thumb lever works great!!

[@lisaramaci6973]

What do you call a squash that makes great bad jokes? A pun-king😂🎃

[@Kpop_itzy_love]

I have dad, but my heart brokes when i see you dad

[@morgana235]

Never had it ... I wish I enjoyed cooking but ypu do inspire me ❤

[@Nser-dj6gn8xs2f]

جميل جدا ❤❤

[@libilmf]

❤

[@carriepester5725]

I love to add an apple (one large or two small) when I’m making butternut squash soup. If I have one I also add a sweet potato. They both make an interesting flavor profile. This soup looks great as is I just thought I’d add some of the things I do with mine.

[@silviiiiiiiiiiii-]

i love you sir.

[@noobhunter5340]

Greetings from Germany ✋️😃

[@Melissa-gn3dv]

Yum! I put chili powder in mine instead of spices like nutmeg or cloves.

[@cbender8529]

Sounds nice, in the end it depends on the availability of ingedients - and personal preferences. So, no maple syrup and no nutmeg for my household. But pumpkin squash soup (or, together with other vegetables) a pumpkin-vegetables-cream soup is really great and tasty.

[@shelbycola7699]

Hey dad! How do I seal an exterior door that has a leak in the corner? Or how do I fix all of the seals in the door? I need this for the winter months 🥶

[@shelbycola7699]

Maybe you could do a whole video about different winter time heating tips too?

[@kristinabailey.]

Thanks for the recipe. Do you think roasted bell pepper would be a good addition to this soup?

[@JMPT]

Fatherly Nice 🥣

[@annewhite93]

Thanks, Dad! Can I bake it whole and then cut it? I cut an acorn squash. It was hard! I hoped to avoid cutting hard squashes, but I love squash soup.😊

[@DadhowdoI]

I think you really need to cut it before cooking it. However to soften it, maybe you could put it in the oven for half the cooking time, then pull it out and cut it, then put it back?

[@annewhite93]

@DadhowdoI Good idea! Thanks!

[@aa.d-Ahmed]

I have seen some of your videos and I liked it, but I found it difficult to understand because, frankly, I am from the Middle East, I hope that you will do the translation position in your videos, and thank you for these wonderful videos. ❤❤

[@someone_9816]

Dad you have 5M kids ❤

[@HữuHuỳnh-l1i]

Thanks 😢

[@xCARBOMBx]

No cream or even milk?

[@discordia3596]

Dad, how can I cook pasta with grilled sausages?

[@meenakshiganeshan2440]

Dad i am surviving without you 😢

[@Yagmur-zq4ch]

For those who are Turkish, can you add Turkish translation for the subtitle language?

[@NoOne-jw9fq]

You can roast the seeds and add salt and you got your self a tv snack (crack it open with your teeth sand eat the inner flesh)

[@MarwaMaânane]

How do i receive love from Dad ??? (He left me when i was 10..im 31 now)

[@Liononmytoes]

Surprised there's not a mom how do I? as well.

[@Ibylgotdf1]

First hiiii how are you doing

[@Boxvidra]
