Instructions
- Prepare the butternut squash: Start by peeling and chopping your butternut squash into equal-sized cubes (about 1-inch pieces).
- Sauté the aromatics: In a large pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add your chopped onion and cook for about 5-7 minutes.

- Blend it up: Remove the pot from the heat. Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth and creamy.
