Butternut Squash Soup is a classic soup dish. It’s smooth and creamy and total comfort food. This butternut squash soup recipe is full of vegetables which means it’s also full of vitamins and nutrients. The heavy cream in this soup is optional so you can enjoy it as healthy as you’d like, or add in a bit of indulgence for a richer soup.
How do you pick out a butternut squash?
When picking out a butternut squash, first look for color. It should be a solid beige color and not have any deep cuts or bruises. Sometimes they get a little scratched during shipping and at the grocery store. Small surface only scratches are fine. Next, pick up the squash. If it feels heavy for its size, it is a good one to pick.
Storing Leftovers:
Butternut squash soup stores really well. You can freeze it, or store it in the fridge to reheat. It will stay good in the fridge for about 5 days, and it will stay good in the freezer for up to 3 months. Another fun option is to turn it into a pasta sauce. Simmer it over medium low heat until the sauce reduces and thickens up. Then serve over pasta.

Can Butternut Squash Soup be altered so Lactose
Intolerant people can enjoy it too?
Yes, as noted in the article, you can leave the heavy cream out.
Adding coconut cream or full fat coconut milk adds a nice creaminess without actual dairy.
You can replace the cream with non dairy unsweetened coffee creamer. I do it for all the creamy soups.
I made it with 10% lactose free cream and skipped the butter for olive oil. My daughter who is lactose intolerant had two bowls! It didn’t last in our house. So deelish!
