Smokin’ Butternut Squash Soup. This soup was SO good. And it’s delicious either hot or cold so you can serve it any time of the year.
Smokin Butternut Squash Soup: good hot or cold
Smokin’ Butternut Squash Soup is a hearty soup.
You won’t believe how easy and creamy this delicious Smokin’ Butternut Squash Soup (dairy free, gluten free, and vegan) is. I think this is my favorite butternut squash soup so far! I’m reposting it now because November is National Vegan Month and, of course, butternut squash is plentiful this time of year.
Recipe Development
I started with one of those little video recipes on FaceBook. I think it was called Thai Butternut Squash Soup. However, when I clicked over to the website, I couldn’t find the darn recipe. There was no way to search for it. Frustrating. So I watched it a couple times and then improvised.
I always think I should learn how to do those quick, little videos, but then I realize that by the time I figure it out, the trend will pass. So, for now, I’ll stick to giving you recipes in a searchable blog format.
I took a big pot of this soup to Shiloh’s Family Camp Weekend and served it for lunch. The temperature that day was about 90F degrees and I decided to serve the soup cold. Several people told me how much they liked it. It’s super tasty either hot or cold, so take your pick. And look at the amount of protein in this vegan soup!
What You Need
To make this soup, I used a vegetable peeler, chef’s knife, garlic press, zester/grater, cutting board, Dutch oven (pot), measuring cups and spoons, and an immersion blender (it’s the best little invention, isn’t it?).
But what you really want are some terrific pots and pans, lovely dinnerware and stemware and, of course, a good coffee maker (at least I do!). Am I right?
