Pierce the butternut squash with a fork or knife a few times, place into a baking pan and roast for 40-50 minutes or until fork tender.
Remove the squash from the oven and let cool for 1 hour.
In the soup pot or stock pit, saute the onion in the oil until translucent and light brown.
Scoop out the butternut squash and add it to the stock pot along with the fresh ginger, salt, black pepper, water, and soup mix. Heat until just boiling and then remove from heat.
Using an immersion blender, blend until smooth.
Notes
Top recipe tip
Butternut squash retains heat like hot ember from a fireplace so you really do need to let it cool before cutting into it at the end of Step 1. You can roast it and then refrigerate it until the next morning to be sure it is cool.
