Butternut Squash soup – yes, I jumped on the bandwagon. I’ve always been a fan of this soup, but this recipe takes the cake. Handsome and I found this soup last year and I was surprised that it was so delicious. Now? It’s literally Handsome’s favorite. I repeat – Butternut Squash soup is his FAVORITE – over chili, over broccoli cheese, over chicken noodle. Guys. This is huge.
Why is this soup so fabulous? So many reasons. First, it’s SO easy. (haha – bless my heart, of course my butternut squash soup is easy – Handsome always makes it!) Second, it’s smooth and creamy and oh-so-delicious. Third, and most important, this soup has a slight KICK. Cayenne and black pepper give this butternut squash soup something extra.
Seriously, I could literally eat this butternut squash soup ALL. DAY. LONG. I can’t get it in my mouth fast enough. Curse it for being so delicious and rich and filling!
This recipe came from All Recipes and, again, is one of our favorites!

If you’re not feeling up to a creamy Butternut squash soup, then I HIGHLY recommend making my Loaded Potato Soup. It’s DIVINE.
I’m not usually a fan of squash but this looks pretty darn good! I will have to pin it for next summer!
I have not had enough soup this winter I’ve gotta fix that!
I love butternut squash! This sounds so good. But I don’t think my husband would let me make it… I’ll pin it just in case. 🙂
Sounds perfect for winter dinners!
