Butternut-Thyme Soup

This smooth and rich soup tastes like it’s full of heavy cream, but it’s much lighter. You can skip the fresh thyme, though it adds more complexity. Leftovers are no problem, as it keeps well in the fridge for 2 or 3 days, or you can freeze this soup up to 3 months. The solids will separate, but that’s normal; just whisk together as you reheat.
