Instructions

Preheat oven to 425ºF. Place butternut squash on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper. Toss with 1 teaspoon oil, ¼ teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon sweetener. Roast squash cubes for 30 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, add 2 teaspoons olive oil and over medium heat. Add chopped onion, sautéing until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add chopped carrots and ¼ teaspoon salt. Sauté another 5 minutes. Add garlic and apple, cooking while stirring another 2 minutes.
Add broth, roasted squash, 4 tablespoons Splenda Stevia Sweetener, sage, garlic powder, and cinnamon. Stir together and simmer until carrots are fork-tender, about 8 minutes.
Stir in pumpkin and cream cheese. Turn off heat. Let soup cool a bit before blending. Working in batches, blend soup until completely smooth. Add soup back pot. Taste and adjust seasonings.
Serve soup and top with pumpkin seeds and a pinch of cayenne if desired. Enjoy!
