Sheet Pan Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

Photographer: Robby Lozano, Food Stylist: Jennifer Wendorf, Props Styling: Lindsey Lower

Roasting vegetables in the oven before tossing intensifies their flavors, resulting in a deeply rich and flavorful fall soup. We love the sweet, nutty flavor of butternut squash, but any winter squash with a similar texture, such as acorn squash, honey squash, or kabocha squash, can be used in its place.
