Savory Butternut Squash Soup

Savory Squash Soup (with Butternut Squash, Thyme, Basil, Oregano & Sage) is such a savory, creamy, scrumptious soup. It takes about 40 minutes to make. Top it with a little candied ginger for an amazing flavor.

Savory Butternut Squash Soup, topped with candied ginger, is super good.

Savory Butternut Squash Soup makes a quick, delicious meal.

This is my favorite recipe for Butternut Squash Soup. The combination of spices—thyme, basil, oregano, and sage—and a little white wine in this soup satisfies my need for comfort food. Adding a little candied ginger as a garnish is brilliant. If you roast the squash instead of steaming it, the flavor will be even better.

Garnish with basil and candied ginger for a pretty finish to this delicious soup.

This is a favorite 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. I suspect we won’t be able to attend live services this year, but we can probably enjoy it online.

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 yummy). 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.

7. Mix in the thyme, sage, basil and oregano.
