🔪 Instructions:
- Heat oil in a medium pot over medium heat.
- Add onions and sauté until translucent, then add garlic and butternut squash, continuing to sauté for an additional minute.
- Pour in water and add ginger, then increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow the soup to simmer for approximately 30 minutes, or until the butternut squash is tender.
- Once the squash is soft, remove the pot from heat and stir in salt and heavy cream for added richness and flavor.

- For those using an immersion blender, simply blend the soup directly in the pot until smooth and creamy, then serve immediately.
🌟 Tips and Serving Suggestions:
- Garnish each serving with a drizzle of additional cream and a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or chives for a burst of color and freshness.
- Serve alongside crusty bread or grilled cheese sandwiches for a comforting and satisfying meal.
- This soup freezes well, so consider making a double batch and storing individual portions for quick and easy meals on busy days.
