Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe
When it turns Fall I’m excited to bring out the soup pot! I love simple creamy soups, like my Roasted Cauliflower Soup and this Butternut Squash Soup! It’s perfect for warming up on a chilly day.
This easy recipe combines roasted squash, carrots, and onions for a rich flavorful soup. After baking the vegetables, all you need to do is blend them with chicken broth for a smooth and creamy texture.
Some butternut squash soups call for you to make it on the stove top, but listen to me, roast your squash! By roasting the butternut squash you’re going to have so much stronger depth of flavor. The squash is going to turn instantly into a smoky, flavorful, caramelized squash. You want this for your soup!
This soup is simple to make and a great way to use seasonal ingredients. Serve it with crusty bread or dinner rolls for a delicious meal that the whole family will love!

How to Make Butternut Squash Soup
Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle salt on the vegetables, then roast them for 50 minutes. Stir the carrots and onions halfway through to keep them from sticking. You can see my carrots got a little browned, bu
After roasting, peel the skin off the butternut squash and discard it.
In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt butter and flour together, whisking until smooth. Add the chicken broth and milk, and whisk for about 5 minutes until creamy.
Finally, add the roasted vegetables to the pot and blend until smooth using an immersion blender.

I never thought about roasting the squash first! I ll bet that adds much more flavor to the soup! Thanks, Yvonne! Sorry, meant to say add onion to the roasting pan and continue roasting both squash and onion for another 25 minutes.
