Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe is in blue box (scroll down).

Before the winter sets in, I’m going to enjoy every bit of food associated with Autumn like this roasted butternut squash soup made a touch sweet with maple syrup and a whole lot savory with pecans and sage leaves fried in browned butter. (Can use oil for dairy free).

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

This would be the perfect accompaniment to my Autumn Salad, but it was inspired most from my Autumn Cocktail.

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

The sage leaves crumble up in your mouth and taste amazing along with the crunch of the pecans. There is a bit of apple in there for sweetness, and a touch of heat, a dash of cinnamon, a pinch of ground cloves, and a dollop of yogurt to smooth it out.

Butternut squash soup is all over the internet made in all kind of ways. This is my version, an EASY version, because this roasted butternut squash soup recipe does not make you peel and cut the squash which is a task I prefer to skip when there is an easier way.

How to Roast Butternut Squash

You simply put the whole squash into the oven and watch it roast, shrink, shrivel and get so good, the skin almost peels off.

Add Caramelized Apple, Carrot, Onion

What could be easier? Along with the squash, throw in an apple and watch it caramelize along with a few organic carrots, and an onion.

This all gets spiced and pureèd for the most natural and delicious butternut squash soup you will eat without a ton of sugar and cream.

For the grand finale, I topped the soup off with browned butter fried sage leaves and toasted pecans. Those two ingredients are what make this soup quite special there should be a little crispy leaf and pecan in every bite!

How to Blend Butternut Squash Soup

You can take everything and put it into the super blender, the Vitamix, or use a stick blender or regular blender.

When it comes to soups, I personally love my Vitamix and, while it’s not the cheapest blender you can buy, it’s the most cost effective over a life time, and you can not get the same results with an ordinary blender. This is the blender you only have to buy once, and is worth every penny.

Butternut squash soup comes in many versions, but I love this one the best. You can always add in some yogurt, coconut milk or heavy cream if you want it super rich. Or do something crazy and add a banana which always makes it creamier.

Butternut Squash Soup

Can I make this soup vegan?

Yes. Fry the sage in your favorite oil.

Add in Maple Flavor or Maple Syrup

You can add maple syrup, sugar free maple syrup or maple extract for that yummy maple hit.

You can change the apple to pear, but I do hope you try the fried sage leaves and toasted pecans. Sage and pecans together is an amazing combination which gives me all kinds of ideas for future recipes.

    This looks perfect for our cold, rainy spring weather. Yes it has reverted back to winter this week! I’d love to buy a Vitamix as you can make so much with it like raw foods 🙂

    When given a choice creamy soups are still my absolute favourite Angela. Sage seems to make its way into my kitchen this time of year.

      Val, what I like about this creamy soup is that there is no cream. The sage is all over my garden, and it’s so good fried.
