Butternut squash soup is one of my favorites.

Sometimes the recipes look a little time consuming, but they are always worth it.

I’m sharing this delightful recipe because it includes a cider cream which is amazing!

Prep time for the soup should probably take about 15 minutes. 

Peeling butternut squash doesn’t have to be difficult. I made a quick video to share how easy it is.

This recipe only makes enough for 2 so you’ll want to double up if you’re cooking for a family of 3 or more.

It’s great for leftovers as well so make extra and have some for lunch the next day.

Ingredients

  • 5 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 1/2 lbs. butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 6 cups)

  • 1/2 cup chopped peeled carrot
  • 1/2 cup chopped celery

  10. Bring soup to simmer. Mix in whipping cream.
  11. Ladle soup into bowls. Drizzle with cider cream. Top with fresh chives.
