This easy butternut squash soup is smooth, savory, quick to make and sure to please a crowd. It’s the quintessential fall recipe!\u00a0<\/em><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fall can officially start. We’ve made our first batch of one of my all time favorite soups, butternut squash. It may not feel quite like fall outside but we can pretend, right? I’ve been making this soup for a number of years and it’s never let me down. It’s always a crowd pleaser and it really couldn’t be any easier to make. If you’re ready to ease into those quintessential fall recipes this is a delicious one to add to your recipe box that I know you’re going to love!<\/p>\n

This is a family recipe given to me by Josh’s side. They have a number of yummy recipes and this one is no exception. You can whip this recipe up in a matter of 15 minutes or leave it to slow cook in a dutch oven. It’s completely up to you!<\/p>\n

Start by peeling, de-seeding a large butternut squash. I typically buy my squash at Trader Joes. You can normally find them there for only around $1.99 each! Once peeled you just cut them into 1″ chunks.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I use a Fissler pressure cooker<\/strong><\/a> when making this soup. It cooks it in just 4 minutes. You can certainly use a regular pot. Sometimes if I have more time I will use my dutch oven and cook everything slowly. If you do this instead add the cream towards the end so that it doesn’t curdle.<\/p>\n
