Creamy Butternut Squash Soup

Bowls of homemade butternut squash soup

Try this Easy Creamy Butternut Squash Soup Recipe for a fall evening pleaser or a perfect course for Thanksgiving Dinner

This Creamy Butternut Squash Soup Recipe is a Thompson family favorite. I have to admit that I love all the members of the squash/pumpkin family and for that reason I have a great collection of squash and pumpkin recipes. They are satisfyingly filling and hence the perfect chilly weather foods. The bright color, the texture, everything about squash screams the warmth and comfort of autumn to me.  When November rolls around with its miserable, grey, chilly, rainy days…..those days that just chill you right down to the bone…… a bowl of hot, creamy soup just hits the spot!

Butternut Squash is loaded with nutrition and lower in calories than Sweet Potatoes

Which is healthier: Butternut Squash or a Sweet Potato? Both are great sources of vitamins and minerals and both are loaded with antioxidants including beta-carotene. But the sweet potatoes are loaded with carbs, calories, and sugar, about twice the amount found in an equal serving of Butternut Squash. The squash also contains Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin A, Potassium and Magnesium. Its also a great source of fiber.

Its called a winter squash but its harvested in the fall!

Butternut Squash ready to harvest!

I love growing Butternut Squash in my garden because its easy to grow and as its vines trail thru the garden, the huge squash leaves help keep down the weeds. You harvest it in the fall but like pumpkins, they easily store for months. You can store your uncut squash in a cool dark place out of sunlight (which will hasten its ripening) and it should last for about 3-4 months. It takes about 110-120 days to grow from seed to harvestable squash so here in Maine I have to start my seeds indoors and then transfer my plants to the outside garden at the spring frosts aren’t a threat.

How to Pick a good Butternut Squash

When Butternut Squash are ripe, you shouldn’t be able to break the skin with your fingernail. Choose squash that are blemish-free. The stem at the top of the squash should be about 1-2 inches long and the skin should be hard and dull beige colored. A squash with its stem intact will keep longer. It should feel heavy. Avoid any squash that have brown patches, mold or punctures.

      Not sure where you are located but butternut squash takes a long growing season. Here in northern Maine, to have a successful harvest we start seedlings inside in mid-March. Because we have very late frosts, we can’t put any tender plants like tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, or pumpkins in the ground until the end of May. And we have our first fall killing frost in the third or fourth week of September. So that’s our squash growing season, and you can judge by your locale what yours would be. I love butternut squash because they store well and taste so good. This morning here in Maine we have beautiful fall foliage and the first snowcap on Mount Katahdin. It snowed an inch here on Saturday but it has all melted away now here in the lower elevations. I won’t be doing any gardening for a few months. It’s time to put our gardens to bed.

      Fall is a “soupy” time of year. Soup just warms you through and through. After getting wood piled yesterday, Bill and I sat down to a nice supper of tomato basil soup and grilled cheese and tomato sandwiches. Nothing fancy but it just hit the spot. Yesterday was a perfect day for working on the winter wood supply with the temp in the 50’s. The last two nights the thermometer has dipped down into the low 30’s…….definitely “soup time”!

    I had a butternut squash soup the other day that was to die for! It was the first one I’ve tried that I liked. But yours, sounds delish too! I love that you add some curry powder to the soup. That’s really interesting! I love curry!

    I host a weekly foodie blog hop called Friday Food Fight. I would love you to link up and share your soup.

      It does. It gives it just a different savory background note to add to the heartiness!

      Mine too! He loves soups! And I have to admit that the whole house smells yummy when a pot of soup is simmering. We have heated with wood for years and I always take advantage of the “free” heat in the winter time by putting a pot of soup to simmer on the Vermont Castings Aspen. It helps humidify the house and a lot more mouth watering than the simmering potpourri!

      It is true comfort food. You can adjust the texture to your liking – smooth or a little chunky – dependent on your taste and your “blending” equipment.

      I have to agree that butternuts are a lot of work to cut up. The are so hard. I can remember my grandmother using a hammer to hit the knife to drive it through the squash. I have tried that technique too! An electric carving knife works well also.

      And it works with all of the “winter”squashes like Blue Hubbards, Buttercup, Acorn, etc. It is very filling and comforting on a chilly fall day!

    We have a lot of frozen squash in the freezer. Do you think we could use those?

      October 2, 2012 at 9:38 AM

      You certainly could. Frozen squash will work fine. Also other varieties of “hard” squash like Hubbard, Buttercup, Acorn will also work.
