Easy Butternut Squash Soup with brown butter is the perfect fall comfort food. This easy soup recipe comes together fast and is great with warm bread on busy weekdays!
Have you ever had butternut squash soup? I had never had it before but it always sounded so comforting and festive for the fall season, so finally I made some. Why did I wait so long? It’s so delicious!
This soup is ultra creamy, and has a slightly nutty flavor from the brown butter. It is a little bit sweet but is balanced well with the heat from the pepper.
If you roast the squash ahead of time you can have this soup ready to easy in 15 minutes. Yay for quick and easy dinners!
My squash hating husband ate a big bowl and gave it the thumbs up! Even my baby loved it – he ate 2 bowls in one sitting! My boys were licking the food processor clean after blending the squash. This soup was a hit all around. I am definitely making this again!
***To roast a butternut squash, simply cut it in half lengthwise, and place cut side down in a 9×13″ baking dish. Pour water into the dish about 1″ high. Bake inĀ preheated oven at 350 for about an hour or until you can easily pierce it with a fork. Peel off the skin.

The receipe states to cook the butter does not tell you. How much ?.
Stephanie Brubaker says
The recipe calls for 1/4 cup of butter. Hope you enjoy the soup! š

This recipe is fall in a bowl. I’d love to have a vat of that right now.

I could really go for a bowl of this right now. Not feeling well and this would really hit the spot.

I have to admit that I have not had nor ever made butternut squash soup but now I’m going to! I made pumpkin soup for the first time last weekend and loved it so I bet we will love this too!
Bea says

Oh this sounds so perfect for the weather we’re having here in Boston. While I love brown butter in desserts, there is just something extra special about the way it pairs with butternut squash.
Amanda @ The Kitcheneer says
lol my husband isn’t a fan of the squash either…maybe if I make this he will change his mind too!

I’m a big butternut squash soup fan! This recipe looks creamy and perfect.
One of my favorite cheats is to buy the pre-cut butternut at the grocery (more and more stores are selling it that way now) and then not have to deal with cutting it up!
amanda @ fake ginger says
I loooove butternut squash soup! I’m going to be craving it now.

Hi Stephanie,
I just had to stop and say thank you for posting this easy peasy recipe. I just hung up the phone with my daughter who said she wanted to try her hand at making Butternut Squash Soup. I will definitely be passing this along. Thanks so much for sharing…
