Savory Butternut Squash Soup is comfort in a bowl! A creamy blend of butternut squash, carrot, onion, chicken broth, cream, and a touch of butter, this soup is a simple and savory version of the classic fall favorite.
Fall Harvest Flavors
One of the best things about late summer and early fall is all the fresh produce! I am a big fan of buying local, organic, and dare I say cheap produce. Since I’m a failure in the gardening department, I rely on the farmers markets in my town as well as some trips to the orchard and farm produce stand.
It was during a trip to the apple orchard for my annual apple picking experience that I saw the butternut squash bin and inspiration struck. Time to make Savory Butternut Squash Soup!
Preserving the Harvest
As we collect all of this glorious fresh, healthy produce, it would be an absolute shame for it to go to waste! Did you know that the average American family throws away up to $2,200 in food every year. In my family, that waste is most likely to be meat and produce. We just can’t have this happening anymore!
To help prevent food waste and be better stewards of our resources, I got a FoodSaver® FM5330 Vacuum Sealing System! Have you tried one? A FoodSaver® allows you to vacuum seal a wide variety of foods so they stay fresh longer. You might have seen this on TV. FoodSaver® is the number 1 vacuum sealing solution in the US.
Pick up a FoodSaver® at Bed Bath & Beyond and start preserving food for your family. I really cannot say enough good things about my FoodSaver®. For one thing, it keeps food fresh for up to 5x longer than ordinary storage methods like zipper bags, foil, plastic wrap, and containers, and helps prevent freezer burn.
My husband is way excited about the marinating feature. We can marinate meat and vegetables in minutes! Anything that saves time for busy families like yours and mine… that is a win!
When I make Savory Butternut Squash Soup, the most time consuming part is peeling and chopping the squash. So I recommend you buy your fresh butternut squash and prepare them all at once. Vacuum seal them with your FoodSaver®, pop the bags of prepared squash into the freezer, and then you have it all ready any time you want to make soup.
We simply unroll the size of bag we need, seal the end, and fill it with whatever we’re wanting to preserve. Then we insert the open end of the bag into the vacuum sealing area and press start.
Plus… it’s pretty fun to watch the vacuum sealing process!
Lastly, we just seal the open end closed.
I love the FoodSaver® Heat-Sealed Rolls and FoodSaver® Heat-Sealed Bags and how the multi-layer, BPA-free vacuum-seal bags are flexible enough to hug food and seal effectively without gaps. They really are the best for long-term freezer storage, blocking out air and helping to prevent freezer burn.

Making Savory Butternut Squash Soup
Now that my freezer is filled with peeled and cubed butternut squash, I’m ready to make Savory Butternut Squash Soup any time!
Fill a large soup pot with chopped onion, carrots, and butternut squash.
Add a container of chicken stock or broth.
You’ll simmer your soup for 45 minutes until the vegetables are tender and beginning to break down when you stir the soup.
You will definitely need either an immersion blender or a really good regular blender for this recipe. I prefer an immersion blender, but if you do not have one, you can ladle the soup into a blender and puree in small batches.
Once the soup is pureed, stir in butter until melted and then whipping cream.
Now you’re ready to serve!
Top your Savory Butternut Squash Soup with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. I also added a bit of parsley for a pop or green color.
