Butternut Squash Soup
Our Butternut Squash Soup is creamy, delicious, and full of flavor. And it’s easy to make! I’ve made this recipe several times, and it never disappoints.
Butternut Squash is a winter vegetable, and it’s one of my favorites. It has a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, but it’s subtle enough to pick up any flavors you throw at it. And we’ve got flavors galore in this soup!
Flavors
We start our recipe with some of our Fresh Churned Garlic Butter. Then comes onion, carrot, and butternut squash. The chopping doesn’t need to be perfect or small, because you’ll be blending everything together anyway.
Cook those veggies in the Garlic Butter and add some thyme, cumin, ginger, and cayenne. All those beautiful spices mixed together– delicious!
Add some vegetable broth and simmer until the vegetables are soft.
Blending
We used an immersion blender to create a smooth soup. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a regular blender. Just be careful– it’s hot! And you might need to do it in batches.
Once your soup is blended, add some cream. It adds some much needed fat. Don’t forget some bread for dipping!
Enjoy!
