Tips:

  • Choose the right butternut squash. Look for a squash that is firm and heavy for its size, with a deep orange color. Avoid squash with blemishes or soft spots.
  • Roast the butternut squash before pureeing it. Roasting brings out the squash's natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
  • Use a high-quality vegetable broth. The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good one. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and made with real vegetables.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot. When you're cooking the soup, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the soup from cooking evenly.
  • Season the soup to taste. Once the soup is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of yogurt for a little extra flavor.

Conclusion:

Butternut squash soup is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed all year round. It's a great way to use up leftover butternut squash, and it's also a healthy and affordable meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a pot of butternut squash soup that the whole family will love.
