Herbs & spices: oregano, thyme, nutmeg, cinnamon, and sea salt.

Wet ingredients: vegetable broth, apple butter, apple juice, and greek yogurt.

4. Serve the soup. Divide the soup between bowls and garnish with micro greens, chives, or whatever you like!

Have fun with your Butternut Squash Soup

I think toppings or little additions are what makes soup fun, different, and exciting. You can make the same soup and always have a different flair. Here’s a few things I like to add:

  • Cheese: you can never go wrong with topping anything with some cheese, cheddar cheese would be delicious!
  • Nuts/seeds: I love adding pine nuts to the top of my soup.
  • Protein: if you’re looking to add some meat I recommend some Crispy Bacon or prosciutto.

Do I need to peel butternut squash before roasting?

The skin of butternut squash is very tough; I recommend peeling it before roasting. If you are having a hard time peeling it, you can microwave it for a few seconds to soften it a bit to make the peeling process easier.
