Ingredients for Butternut Squash Soup
Squash – This recipe uses butternut squash; you’ll need about 2 to 3 pounds. Leave the skin on and scoop out the seeds for roasting. Replace the butternut squash in this recipe with acorn squash, delicata, or even sweet potatoes! Soup Base – Broth is the base of this soup recipe while blending the squash and adding a splash of cream makes it silky and creamy. You can replace the cream with coconut milk (which is as creamy as heavy cream). Try using the curry if coconut cream is in the mix- it’s a great flavor combo!
Variations
Thicken butternut squash soup with potato flakes or simmer uncovered a bit longer. Swap the chicken broth for vegetable broth to keep this vegetarian. Optional curry powder can be switched out for a dash of turmeric, smoked paprika, or a hint of cayenne pepper for some heat.
How to Make Butternut Squash Soup
Storing Leftover Soup
Keep leftover butternut squash soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week and reheat it on the stove. If it’s too thick, add a little bit of water, broth, or cream. Blend in batches, ensuring the steam can escape. Top it with croutons, crisp bacon, roasted pumpkin seeds, toasted crushed hazelnuts, or even finely diced apples.
