Join the discussionJust want to confirm: 18 teaspoons garlic, and 1/8 teaspoon rosemary? Those both seem like slightly odd measurements…
Yes that’s correct, but the garlic is doubled from most recipes. If you’re not a huge garlic fan, feel free to half it back to 9 teaspoons. It seems like a lot, but the creamy squash balances it out.
I love this and I know I’ll be making it soon, thanks!
Thanks for posting the recipe! I gave this one a try yesterday and really enjoyed the results (tweaking it slightly to use what I had on hand). I have to say it took be by surprise just how much the sweetness of the roasted squash came thru in the finished soup. Paired with a ham and grilled cheese sandwich it made an excellent dinner.I roasted and skinned two Poblano peppers. The second I pureed with a bit of leftover fat free half and half. I drizzled the puree over each bowl of soup just before serving.
Out of curiousity… about how many cloves (or heads) of garlic would yield 18 teaspoons?
About 36. It’s a large amount of butternut squash, but if that garlic amount seems like too much for you, feel free to start out with half (18) and work your way up.
How large of a squash would you suggest for this recipe? Thank you!
We always say “medium” – perhaps around 2 lbs?
