A uniquely wholesome and savory soup.

Ingredients:

2 butternut squashes, halved and seeded
1 cup vegetable oil
20 whole fresh sage leaves, plus 1 1/2 tsp. chopped fresh sage
1/4 lb sliced pancetta, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil, more for baking sheet
1 yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 1/2 cups chicken broth
3 1/2 cups water
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
Salt, to taste
Ground black pepper, to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Pour a small amount of olive oil on a baking sheet. Use a paper towel to spread olive oil.

  6. Pour soup in several batches into a blender. Puree until smooth. Transfer to a large bowl until all soup is pureed.
