Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place squash in foil-lined 15 x 10 x 1-in. (38 x 25 x 2.5 cm) baking pan. Drizzle with oil. Sprinkle with sage, salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Roast 30-35 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, in large saucepan, heat oil and 1 tbsp (15 mL) butter over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Cook and stir 3-4 minutes or until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 30-40 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in salt, pepper flakes and pepper.
- Add water, sweet potato and carrot to saucepan. Bring to boil. Reduce heat. Cook, uncovered, 10-15 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add squash mixture and remaining butter to soup. Puree soup using an immersion blender. Or, cool soup slightly and puree in batches in a blender. Return to pan and heat through.
