VITAMIX® BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
I was looking for a great butternut squash soup recipe that was creamy with great flavor. I found that I liked elements of many of the ones out there, but none hit the mark. So I created my own in the Vitamix®! My husband is an extremely picky eater when it comes to food consistency and he loved it. I hope you do as well. This recipe is now in our regular rotation. Top with paprika and parsley or your desired spice.

Tips:
- Choose the right butternut squash: Look for a squash that is heavy for its size, with a deep orange color and smooth, unblemished skin.
- Roast the squash before pureeing it: Roasting brings out the natural sweetness and flavor of the squash. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a high-quality vegetable broth: The broth is an important part of the soup, so make sure to use a good quality broth that is flavorful and not too salty.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're adding the ingredients to the pot, don't overcrowd it. This will prevent the soup from cooking evenly.
- Season to taste: Once the soup is cooked, taste it and adjust the seasonings as needed. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or other spices.
Conclusion:
Butternut squash soup is a delicious and nutritious dish that is perfect for a fall or winter meal. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With the right ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying soup that the whole family will enjoy.
