Smokin Butternut Squash Soup: good hot or cold
Smokin Butternut Squash Soup (DF, GF, Vegan)
Hi. It’s Lois at Recipe Idea Shop, with a super creamy, delicious Smokin Butternut Squash Soup (dairy free, gluten free, vegan). I think this is my favorite butternut squash soup so far!
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 what I’m doing.
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!
Tools
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?).
