Classic Butternut Squash Soup

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

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!)

You do need an immersion blender…a regular blender works but is pretty messy.

Yummy yummy yummy! It is best served with a dollop of sour cream and a bit of cheddar cheese.
If you all have some other fun variations on Butternut Soup, leave it in the comments or shoot over an email! This family would eat it all year!
