10 Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipes That Start With One Pan

Roasted butternut squash soup is one of those comforting meals that feels special without creating a sink full of dishes. Start with a single sheet pan: roast cubed squash, onion, garlic and a little olive oil until caramelized, then blend with broth. From there, these easy variations turn one simple method into ten delicious bowls.

1. Classic Sage Soup: Roast squash with onion, garlic and fresh sage. Blend with vegetable broth, then finish with cream and black pepper.
2. Apple & Cinnamon Soup: Add a chopped apple to the pan. Blend with chicken or vegetable stock, cinnamon and a tiny drizzle of maple syrup.
3. Curried Coconut Soup: Toss the vegetables with curry powder before roasting. Blend with coconut milk, broth and lime juice.
4. Spicy Chipotle Soup: Add a chipotle pepper in adobo sauce to the blender. Top each bowl with pepitas, cilantro and sour cream.
5. Carrot & Ginger Soup: Roast carrot chunks alongside the squash. Blend with fresh ginger, broth and a splash of orange juice.
6. Garlic Parmesan Soup: Roast an extra head of garlic with the squash. Blend, then stir in grated Parmesan for a savory, rich finish.
7. Thai Peanut Soup: Blend roasted squash with coconut milk, red curry paste and a spoonful of peanut butter. Garnish with crushed peanuts.
8. Rosemary White Bean Soup: Add rosemary to the pan, then blend the vegetables with canned white beans and broth for extra protein.

10. Tomato & Red Pepper Soup: Roast a red bell pepper and cherry tomatoes with the squash. Blend with broth and basil for a bright, colorful bowl.

One-pan tip: Line your baking sheet with parchment paper, roast at 400°F until the squash is fork-tender, and squeeze roasted garlic from its skin before blending. Adjust the broth slowly until the soup reaches your preferred consistency.

Serve with crusty bread, grilled cheese, toasted seeds or a swirl of yogurt. With one pan and a blender, cozy homemade soup can be on the table any night of the week.
