Prepare Furlani Garlic Texas Toast slices as per packaging directions.
Let the garlic toast cool for 5 minutes and cut them neatly into bread cubes.
Combine and toss together the cubed squash, caramelized (sauteed) onions and salt and sugar teaspoons in a large soup pot. Add 5 cups of water and heat the soup contents to boil.
Reduce the temperature to low-medium heat setting, place a cover on the soup pot and let it simmer for 40 minutes or until the soup contents are tender.
Puree the soup in the pot using a hand-held blender (or a standard blender as an alternative) until the butternut squash soup is “silky smooth” in texture and appearance.
Pour in the heavy and sour cream and stir to enrich the flavour of the soup.
Using a ladle, serve the butternut squash soup into a separate bowl. Top with bread cubes and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs.
