Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe (2024)

There’s nothing cozier than a bowl of hot soup in the fall and winter, like this amazing Homemade Tomato Soup I made last month. This Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe is not the exception; this soup is creamy, smooth, and perfectly packed with natural sweetness! No added sugars. It’s a must-have, especially at this time of year.

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe

This month in the blog has been all about fall recipes. Last week I published this Butternut Squash Vegetarian Lasagna recipe in which the main ingredient was Butternut Squash. I decided to use the same main ingredient this week. Why? Well, let’s be honest all my recipes are tested not only once but twice and, in some cases, three times. The reason for this is that I want to share with you my best version of the recipe, and I bought just a few too many butternut squashes 🙁 so why not make this amazing soup.

This Butternut squash soup was not only approved by me, but many of my family members were eating butternut squash soup for a couple of days!

This Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe is so simple and hassle-free. There’s no need to peel or cut the butternut squash. The squash is roasted in the oven, and the best part, I’m not only roasting the butternut squash, but I decided to roast the garlic, carrots and I added some bacon as well. All in just one baking sheet, isn’t that wonderful 🙂

How to prepare the Butternut Squash Puree

First, preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Then, cut the butternut squash in half and, using a spoon remove the flesh and discard

Next, place the butternut squash, onion, and garlic cloves on a baking sheet (no need to peel), bacon (optional). Then drizzle with olive oil and add dry sage, salt, pepper, and place it in the oven.

Remove out of the oven the bacon, carrots, onion, and garlic. These will be done in 10-15 minutes. continue cooking the butternut squash for a total of 20 minutes or until soft

Scoop out the already roasted butternut squash and place it in a high-performance blender or a regular blender. Add the carrots, garlic, 1 cup heavy cream to blend.

Now that the puree is ready let’s use it to make the soup 🙂

How to Prepare the Butternut Squash Soup

In a large pot, add the butternut squash puree, add 1 cup of vegetable broth, 1/2 teaspoon of ginger, unsalted butter, and 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper simmering over medium-low heat. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until desired consistency is obtained. I like it a little thick!
