This is the simplest butternut squash soup recipe ever.
For some it might even be too basic. But, you can always jazz it up if you like. I am a big believer, though, that when learning to cook you should know the classic recipe BEFORE the fancy pants one.
In this you don't peel and dice the butternut squash. Instead, you have everything in one giant pot. gasp! And there's only 9 ingredients, which includes the salt! But, this is the truest, most simple Butternut Soup recipe ever. (If you have other great ones...shoot them over here!)
The key ingredients:
- Butternut Squash
- Potatoes
- Broth
- Rosemary
- Butter
You do need an [easyazon_link identifier="B00ARQVM5O" locale="US"]immersion blender[/easyazon_link]...a regular blender works but is pretty messy.
How to roast butternut squash whole:
- Prick the squash
Yummy yummy yummy! It is best served with a dollop of sour cream and a bit of cheddar cheese.

This looks delicious, and different from my veggie soup. It looks easy enough and I know I would love it. I will look for the butternut squash at the farmer's market and make it for lunch. Great recipe. I'm visiting over from MM.

This recipe looks really good. An immersion blender is a kitchen tool that I don't have. It just may go on my Christmas list.
