Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and remove the seeds.

Bake for 45 minutes or until the squash is tender.
While the squash is baking, melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the sweet potatoes, vegetable broth, thyme, rosemary, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the pot and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender.
Remove the squash from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Scoop out the flesh of the squash and add it to the pot.
Use a blender or immersion blender to blend the soup until it's smooth.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve hot and enjoy!
