Warm, rich, and creamy. This soup gives you all the cozy vibes and is made with nutritious, whole ingredients! This butternut squash soup works perfect as a warm, comforting main dish or a flavorful side to add to any meal! It is great for meal prep, so this recipe will make a big batch for the week.

My favorite way to enjoy this soup is by pairing it with this baked kale and ricotta salad. The combo is a rich, vegetarian meal that fills you up and makes you feel good!

DIRECTIONS

  • In a large pot (I used this dutchoven) sautΓ© the garlic, onions, and celery with olive oil on medium-high heat until soft and fragrant. Usually takes about 5 minutes.

  • Add the chopped carrots, butternut squash, and 4 cups of vegetable broth.

  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook covered for about 30-40 min. You want all the vegetables to be tender and soft.

  • Transfer the soup to a blender and bled until smooth. You will have to do this in multiple batches. Once smooth, transfer back to pot. 

  • Stir in greek yogurt

  • Stir in almond milk until desired consistency.

  • Add salt + pepper to taste. 

  • There are so many toppings that enhance the already delicious flavor of this soup. A tangy sautΓ©ed kale mix, goat cheese, sourdough croutons, or toasted pepitas are a few great options! 

  • Serve warm and enjoy!
