There’s nothing quite like a bowl of butternut squash soup to warm you up on a crisp fall day. This vibrant orange soup is not only beautiful to look at, but it’s packed with flavor and has a luxuriously smooth texture. The sweetness of the squash perfectly complements the savory sauteed onions, and a hint of warm spices adds a touch of complexity.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 9 minutes
  • Yield: 5 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large butternut squash (about 3-4 cups diced) *Tip: Look for pre-cut squash to save time!
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 32 oz chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream + extra for garnish (optional)
  • 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Dice the squash (or use pre-cut). Melt butter in a large pot and cook onion and garlic until softened.
  2. Add squash and broth, bring to a simmer, and cook covered for 20 minutes (or until squash is tender).
  3. Remove from heat and stir in cream, spices, and sugar. Puree with an immersion blender (or transfer to a regular blender).
  4. Garnish with a swirl of cream (optional) and enjoy!

Notes

  • Microwave the squash for 5 minutes before cutting for easier handling.
  • Use a large knife for cutting the squash.
  • No immersion blender? Transfer soup to a regular blender to puree.
