For a richer flavor, roast the butternut squash and carrots before adding them to the soup. Toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and roast at 400°F (200°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. A touch of maple syrup or brown sugar can enhance the natural sweetness of the butternut squash. Feel free to substitute other beans, such as cannellini or navy beans, for the great Northern beans. Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives), or a drizzle of toasted pumpkin seeds.
