Creamy Butternut Squash Soup is my go-to easy lunch or dinner during late summer and into winter.

We grow butternut squash in our garden and this year I am going on three crops and I only planted once! It’s a good thing that butternut squashes keep for a long time. Needless to say, my kids love butternut squash recipes!

Let’s make Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

I use a stick blender when blending my soup during the final step for a smooth texture. You could also use a regular countertop blender to make our Creamy Butternut Squash Soup, just blend in 3-4 batches.

Either way, be careful of hot splatters! I like to serve this butternut recipe with french bread and a salad for a complete meal that will fill my kids’ tummies.
