Description

This butternut squash soup is pure comfort in a bowl—silky, rich, and naturally sweet with just the right amount of savory depth. Roasted squash gives it a caramelized flavor that pairs beautifully with garlic, onion, and warming spices. Finished with a swirl of cream or coconut milk, it’s elegant enough for entertaining yet simple enough for weeknight dinners. The best part? It stores and reheats perfectly, making it a reliable go-to recipe for fall and winter. Once you try it, you’ll want to make it again and again.
