When fall rolls around, you’ll start seeing oodles and oodles of pumpkin and apple recipes. Don’t get me wrong, I love pumpkin and apple everything when the weather starts to change. You’ll find a great many apple and pumpkin recipes on my site, in fact. That being said, there’s another delicious food that I think deserves a bit more notice than it’s usually given this time of year. That’s the venerable butternut squash. I see some butternut squash recipes floating around in the sea of pumpkin and apple, and I think, “You know what? There needs to be more butternut squash out there.” And that’s why I decided to share my roasted butternut squash soup recipe with all of you. It’s rich, creamy, delicious, and so easy to make. It’s the perfect fall recipe!

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

The secret to the delicious, deep flavor of this soup is roasting the squash. After it’s been roasted to tender perfection, I pair it with vegetable stock, heavy cream, garlic, vegetables, and seasonings and cook it to rich, creamy perfection. This is a super easy variation, and outside of the 40 minutes it takes to actually roast the squash, the entire recipe only takes about 20 to 30 minutes to make. It’s as easy as it is delicious.
