Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut Squash Soup garnished with green onions.

This weekend is a soup kind of weekend and Butternut Squash Soup is on the menu! We just finished a long week of parent-teacher conferences. The conferences are always great but the days are super long and exhausting. I am ready for a weekend of comfort: warm fire, comfy couch and warm tasty food.  Butternut squash soup is just what I need!Yellow soup in a white bowl topped with green onions.

 

I roast the  squash to make this soup. I also roast the carrots and onions.  It just adds another dimension of flavor. This soup is all about flavor...and comfort....and deliciousness!

Butternut squash soup served with bread sticks.

My butternut squash soup takes a bit of time to make, but what I love is you aren't in the whole kitchen the entire time it is cooking. You put the squash in the oven. While it's baking you can curl up on the couch with a good book. While the soup is simmering, you can make walk away tend to something else....or keep reading that book!

This soup also can be reheated the next day, if you have any leftovers 🙂

  • 2 leaves bay
  • 1 teaspoon thyme
  • ¼ cup dark rum
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

  • Scoop out squash from shells into a soup pot.
  • Add water, curry, bay leaves and thyme.
  • Cook over medium heat for 30 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and remove bay leaves. In small batches, carefully puree soup in a blender.
  • Return to soup pot over low heat.
  • Add rum and salt and pepper.
  • Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes to avoid scorching.

  • Add additional salt, if needed.
  • Rum is optional and can be left out, if desired.

    It's supposed to be snowy here tomorrow so I think I need this soup to warm up. The curry powder sounds great!

      We haven't had a snow yet...just up in the mountains. The temps are chilly though and a great soup is just what we need!
