We had a bit of rain over the weekend and I couldn't stop thinking about a bowl of warm, creamy butternut squash soup. This easy roasted butternut squash soup recipe has simple ingredients but it is full of complex roasted butternut squash flavor and it is simply delicious. Most of the soup's flavor comes from roasting the butternut squash to bring out the sweet caramelized flavor.
Butternut squash is available year-round but is considered a winter squash because it's harvested in the fall.
I like the Butternut variety because it's so much easier to deal with than other types of squash. It has a thick, tough peel and firm flesh that makes it possible for storing over several months.
Butternut squash offers a good supply of vitamin A, potassium, and fiber and has a creamy, delicious flavor perfect for cold winter months.
This recipe is full of complex roasted butternut squash flavor and it is simply delicious. This easy, roasted butternut squash soup recipe is perfect for making ahead. The flavors are actually better the following day. If you are planning to make it ahead, you can make it the day before and reheat it on the stove.
We served it in mugs and paired it with grilled sharp cheddar cheese sandwiches.
This soup doesn't really need a garnish, but a shake of freshly ground black pepper, or add some toasted pumpkin seeds or toasted pecans for visual appeal.
