Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut Squash Soup (with Thyme, Basil & Sage). This is such a savory, creamy, scrumptious soup that takes about 40 minutes to make.

Creamy, savory Butternut Squash Soup

Savory Squash Soup makes a quick, delicious meal.

This is my favorite recipe for Butternut Squash Soup. The combination of spices—thyme, basil, and sage—and a little white wine in this soup satisfies my need for comfort food. It’s a good soup for a night like Christmas Eve when we need a quick meal before we go listen to the amazing Mennonite singers at Park View Mennonite Church. The music is delightful. Those Mennonites can sing.

Really, I think any night is a good night for soup, especially this savory, robust soup. We like to eat it with a good green salad and some homemade Dillie Bread (it’s super good). When I make soup, I generally freeze a container or two for another meal. Do you do that?

What You Need

For this recipe, you need a soup pot or Dutch Oven, knives, a cutting board, vegetable steamer, measuring cups and spoons and a good vegetable peeler. You also need an immersion blender, regular blender or food processor to blend the cooked squash and other ingredients to a smooth consistency. I prefer the immersion blender because it’s so easy.
