Instructions
Melt butter with oil in large pot over medium-high heat.
Add onions, parsley, and sage; sauté until onions are softened, about 5 minutes.

Add garlic; stir 1 minute.
Add 5 cups stock; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer until squash is very soft, about 25 minutes. Cool slightly.
Working in batches, puree soup in blender, allowing some texture to remain. Return soup to pot. Thin with stock, if desired. Season with pepper and more salt, if desired. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Chill uncovered until cold, then cover and chill. Rewarm before serving.

Add breadcrumbs and sage. Cook until crumbs are crisp, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool. DO AHEAD: Can be made 4 hours ahead.
