Butternut Squash, Onion and Potato Soup

Butternut Squash, Onion and Potato Soup

Light and Velvety, So Delicious and Easy!

This is a light and delicate soup that truly enhances all the flavors of the seasonal fall vegetables in it. But, it tastes like butternut squash at its very best. I like to cook this in advance, cool and freeze, then reheat in the microwave when needed. Feel free to double this recipe, then puree by batches in the blender.

Butternut Squash Soup freezes well:

So make plenty and tuck it away for some busy day with chilly weather. Just reheat and serve with some crusty French or sourdough bread which is wonderful served with this butternut squash soup.

How to Serve a Crowd with Butternut Squash Soup:

If you need to serve a lot of people, serving a soup course is an easy way to do it! This makes about 20 cups with the original recipe and serves 10, 2 cup servings. It’s perfect as a soup course or appetizer in small one cup serving sizes. That would serve 20 guests or make some left over to enjoy later.
