Steps

1

Preheat the oven to 400˚F with the rack in the center of the oven.
2

Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
3

Chop all of your vegetables. Transfer squash to the baking sheet along with carrots, onion, and garlic, drizzle with oil, salt, and pepper, and toss to combine.
4

Spread the squash evenly in a single layer and bake until squash and carrots are fork tender and golden at the edges, about 35-40 minutes, turning the veggies halfway.
5

Transfer the roasted veggies to a blender in 2-3 batches, adding some of the stock each time and water if it gets too thick, and blend until completely smooth.
6

Pour the puree into a dutch oven or soup pot and set over medium heat.
7

Add 1/2 cup water, cinnamon, and sage and stir to combine. Bring to a uniform light boil, keeping it partially covered and stirring frequently.
8

Swirl in butter and maple syrup, season with salt and pepper to taste if needed and then remove from heat.
9

To serve, ladle into bowls, and garnish with parsley, and freshly cracked black pepper.
