Easy, Creamy Butternut Squash Soup is a wonderful dish to serve as part of a holiday meal, or any night of the week. This colorful and flavorful soup is a great addition to any meal.

Easy, Creamy Butternut Squash Soup is a flavorful (and colorful) soup for any night of the week. This soup is also lovely for a special meal!

I’ve been busy making Christmas cookies, like these Orange-Amaretto Pizzelle Cookies but a woman cannot live by cookies alone. Well… I could but I don’t know what everyone else in the house would do.

I watched as my husband whipped up this warm and delicious soup for dinner recently. My mom had just arrived for a visit, and we had a butternut squash waiting to be used. My mom loves soup and my husband loves to make it, lucky for us!

I always wonder what to make for dinner the week leading up to a holiday. I don’t always want leftovers (gotta have room in the fridge!) and I don’t always want to order pizza.

In comes this Easy, Creamy Butternut Squash Soup! It’s perfect for a weeknight meal, and in fact, it’s also a fabulous soup to on your holiday meal plan!

Easy, Creamy Butternut Squash Soup is a delightful dish you'll love! This soup makes a wonderful addition to any meal.

For the holidays, this is seriously an easy soup to include. For a busy night, again… easy!

As I frosted my Lemon-Iced Gingersnap cookies, my husband had roasted the squash (I could eat it just like that) and the other goodies were quickly added to a large pot.

Butternut squash is super versatile and I love using it in all sorts of dishes like Butternut Squash, Spinach, and Mushroom Tacos (cuz everyone likes tacos) and even in a breakfast dish like Creamy Breakfast Quinoa with Roasted Butternut Squash. 

Easy, Creamy Butternut Squash Soup is a bowl of goodness you'll love! The color and flavor of this soup is wonderful!

This colorful soup is perfect for when the nights are chilly or when the holidays are upon us. It’s a lovely dish to serve for a special winter meal, or as a part of a weeknight meal.

We used the little seeds from the squash and roasted them up in a bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper. They make a fun and tasty garnish for the soup, along with crunchy homemade croutons.

Easy, Creamy Butternut Squash Soup is one you'll want to serve all winter. The colors and flavors of this soup are lovely!

Give this soup a try for a delightful dish that is perfect for a special meal, or one that is just as delicious on an average weeknight!

Ingredients

  • 1 large butternut squash, peeled and diced into evenly-sized cubes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper, divided
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced, divided
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons fresh sage, chopped, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking pan with aluminum foil.

    Your soup has that rich velvety texture I adore and I love that I can see the spices too. As always, a little bit of garnish lends the perfect amount of textural interest.

    One of the most delicious soups ever! The pancetta is genius and I love the heavy cream touch at the end. When I make butternut squash soup I usually add sour cream, this is better. I will be making this soup very often.
