A couple of weeks ago I tried Panera‘s Autumn Squash Soup.
Wow was that stuff good!!! Β It seriously tasted how fall should taste…
Immediately, I had thoughts of recreating something similar, and my mind turned to butternut squash soup. Β For me, fall squash really takes the cake when it comes to the most bang for your buck because of the yummy flavor and high nutrient content so I try to use them up as much as possible while they are in season. Β Butternut squash is high in carotenoids, vitamin C, and lots of fiber.
This soup was a first time make for me, so I took a peek at my Sweet Potato Soup recipe for inspiration.
I simply threw on my “kitchen experimenter’s” hat and started adding a little of this and a little of that until I came out with a soup that was absolutely delicious. Β This creamy soup has minimal ingredients, is high in nutrients, full of flavor, and will warm you from the inside out π
Yields: Β 2-3 servings
Ingredients:
Directions
1. Β Preheat oven to 400 degrees while chopping squash and onion.
2. Β Bake squash and onions in oven on a sheet pan sprinkled with salt and pepper and spritzed with olive oil for 25 minutes.
3. Β In a large sauce pan, bring the vegetable broth, sage, and thyme to a boil.
4. Β When squash and onions are done roasting in the oven, add to the boiling broth with almond milk and allow to boil for 5 minutes.
5. Β Strain the squash and onions keeping the broth and put in the food processor. Β Process the squash and slowly add the liquid a little bit at a time, processing in between to make sure the soup reaches the desired consistency.
6. Β Enjoy!
I hope you enjoy this soup as much as we did!!
