Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste, divided
1 (2 pound) butternut squash
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 quart chicken broth
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup heavy cream or creme fraiche, plus more to garnish
2 tablespoons maple syrup, or to taste
Chopped fresh chives for garnish

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a pot over medium-low heat. Add onions and a large pinch of salt. Cook and stir until onions have softened but not taken on any color, about 10 or 15 minutes.

Blend with an immersion blender until very smooth. Stir in cream and maple syrup; add more salt if needed.
  • Ladle into serving bowls. Garnish with a swirl of cream, and a sprinkle of chives and pomegranate seeds.
