Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Squash

    Add the diced butternut squash to the pot, stirring to combine. Cook for another 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth, add salt, black pepper, and thyme. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the squash is tender.

  4. 4

    Blend the Soup

    Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth. For a creamier texture, you can blend in batches using a regular blender.

  5. 5

    Finish with Crab and Cream

    Stir in the crab meat and heavy cream, heating gently until warmed through. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot.
