Shortcut Butternut Squash Soup
It’s over. It’s actually over. October come back I miss you! I don’t want to take down all my Halloween decorations yet.
Sigh… Well at least I have yummy soup.
Shortcut Butternut Squash Soup
Can’t find canned butternut squash? This soup works equally well with a can of 100% pumpkin puree. Print Version.
14-ounce can chicken or veggie broth
1 medium onion, diced
2 carrots, diced
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
15-ounce can Butternut Squash (Found at Whole Foods type stores)
2 cups half & half
1. In a large pot add broth, onion, carrots, butter, baking soda, salt, cinnamon & pepper. Bring to a high simmer, cover and cook until the vegetables are soft. About 10 to 15 minutes.
2. Puree the soup in a blender. Pour it back in the pot. Add squash and half & half. Simmer uncovered for 10 minutes while whisking occasionally. Season with a little salt if needed.
3. Spoon into bowls. Drizzle with a little half & half if desired.
Serves 6.
Recipe adapted from the “Farmer’s Market Organic Butternut Squash” label. Picture by Laura Flowers.

I was just craving butternut squash soup today but didn't want to fool with the mess...thanks for this Laura! I'll definitely be trying it :)
I say just put a turkey next to all the decorations and leave em up. I won't judge you.
Shortcuts = awesome. This soup looks great!
you had me at "shortcut".
I'm with RFR...I'm all about the shortcuts lately. I've been buying the cubed frozen butternut squash and, of course, I have cans of pumpkin, butternut and sweet potato puree. I miss October too. It is my MOST favorite month.
Yum! This is my kinda meal - I am all about some soup. And shortcut? Love it!
Yum - we're having something very similar tonight, but instead of cinnamon I went with oregano and crumbled feta. Love squash season!
I agree with you, Laura! October went entirely TOO FAST! Thanks for the shortcut recipe:)
