It’s time to break out the cozy blankets and prepare those soup bowls, because fall has officially arrived! And what better way to warm up on chilly autumn and winter nights than with a hearty bowl of soup?

Now, I have a little secret to share with you. The key to making this soup truly amazing is to roast the butternut squash instead of steaming it or using any other cooking method. Roasting the squash slowly over low heat brings out its natural sweetness and intensifies its flavor in a way that boiling just can’t match.

So get ready to curl up under those blankets, because this butternut squash soup is going to be your new favorite comfort food this fall!

Can I use an immersion blender instead of a stand blender?

  • Yes, you can use an immersion blender instead of putting all the ingredients in a stand blender. Feel free to sauté the onion, carrots, bell pepper and garlic, add the roasted squash to the pot followed by the remaining ingredients. You can then use an immersion blender to puree until smooth.

How do I store pumpkin soup?

  • Your butternut squash soup can be stored in the refrigerator for five to seven days. If you haven’t added cream yet, you can also freeze the soup for up to three months. Be sure to store it in an airtight container when refrigerated or frozen.
