Creamy butternut squash soup is easy and fuss-free when using a three-stage cook in the Anova Precision Oven. You’ll first steam the vegetables until tender, then roast until caramelized, and finally reduce the cooking liquid and meld the flavors. Once the squash is tender and caramelized, simply blend and serve this cool weather classic, topped however you’d like. This soup can be dairy-free if you omit the cream and pesto (or use plant-based alternatives) for serving.
