Butternut Squash Soup with Crispy Prosciutto

Butternut Squash Soup with Crispy Prosciutto
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 4 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto, cut into thin strips
  • 4 stalks celery, sliced
  • 2 large carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 (4 pound) butternut squash - peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 2 (32 ounce) cartons Swanson® Chicken Stock, divided
  • 1 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried sage
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste (optional)
  • salt and pepper to taste


  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large soup pot over medium-high heat. Cook prosciutto strips until crispy, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  2. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same pot over medium-high heat. Add celery, carrots, and onion; saute until vegetables begin to soften, about 10 minutes. Add butternut squash. Pour in chicken stock to cover vegetables (you will not use both boxes of stock here). Season with thyme, sage, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Let soup cool slightly. Blend with an immersion blender. Add more chicken stock to thin to desired consistency.
  4. Ladle soup into bowls and top with crispy prosciutto.
