Ingredients
For the soup
• 1,8 kg butternut squash
• 6 cloves garlic, 4 whole, 2 finely chopped
• 2 sprigs of thyme
• Salt&pepper
• 2 onions, finely sliced
• 2 carrots, finely sliced
• 1 tbsp freshly chopped sage
• 2 litres hot vegetable stock

For the parsley purée
• 1 bunch flat leaf parsley
• 1 clove garlic, crushed

Preheat the oven to 240.
Cut the squash into wedges and scoop the seeds out. Brush the wedges with olive oil, place in roasting tray and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the oven for 45 minutes, until soft and caramelised
After 25 minutes of cooking, add the unpeeled whole garlic cloves and thyme sprigs.
Meanwhile, heat some olive oil in a large pan, add onions, carrots, sage and remaining garlic and cook gently for 10-15 minutes until soft but not brown.
Pour stock onto the vegetables and simmer for 20 minutes, or until vegetables are tender.
Allow the squash to cool a bit, then remove the flesh from its skin and add to the stock together with the roasted garlic. Simmer until the squash is starting to break up, then blend until smooth.
For the parsley purée, place the parsley, garlic and parmesan into a food processor and process until smooth. Add the oil bit by bit. Season with salt and pepper.
Add the crème fraiche to the soup and check seasoning.
