Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

Butternut squash soup recipe is the perfect recipe for fall! It’s full of creamy goodness and pairs well with a chunk of crusty bread!

We aren’t die-hard gardeners, but we have had success with tomatoes and pumpkins in the past, so we decided that would be what we focus on. We thought to ourselves that this would be a great activity and take our minds off COVID.

Funny story, we ordered seeds from Amazon when the pandemic started, and we thought we had only ordered pumpkin seeds. As the plants started to grow, we realized that one of the plants was butternut squash.

I have never cooked any recipe that has called for a butternut squash before. Heck, if it shows up in your garden you have to make something, right? I’m glad I did!

Even if you aren’t a big butternut squash lover, you will love this soup. Butternut squash and cool weather go together like burger and fries—which, really, they were.

INGREDIENTS

1 large butternut squash, peeled and cubed (seeds removed)

2 potatoes, peeled and cubed

3 tbsp, olive oil

salt and pepper, to taste

2 tbsp. butter

1 onion, chopped

2 to 3 celery stalks, thinly sliced

Meanwhile, in a large pot over medium heat, melt butter, and remaining tablespoon olive oil. Add onion, celery, and carrot and cook until softened, 7 to 10 minutes. Season generously with salt, and pepper.
Add roasted squash and potatoes and pour over chicken broth. Simmer 10 minutes, then using an immersion blender, blend soup until creamy. (Alternately, carefully transfer batches of the hot soup to a blender.) Add the heavy cream and combine.
