For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash before adding it to the soup. If you prefer a thinner soup, add more broth until you reach your desired consistency. A swirl of cream or a dollop of crème fraîche makes a beautiful and flavorful garnish. Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like sage or thyme.
