Creamy Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup image

This will become your go-to soup this fall. It's delicious! The seasoning blend adds a great savory flavor. But it's a bit sweet from the butternut squash. We added kale to our soup and liked the fresh taste and crunchy texture. Spinach would be fantastic too.

Categories     Vegetable Soup

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 qt chicken broth
1/2-1 lb chicken, cut in bite-sized pieces
2 c cubed butternut squash
1 c sliced celery
1/2 c chopped sweet peppers (red, green, yellow, or combo)
1/2 tsp roasted chicken seasoning blend (or 1/4 tsp each garlic powder and onion powder and a pinch of sage)
salt and pepper, to taste
1 c chopped spinach, kale or other green (optional - I tend to add greens to a lot of my soups, but it's just as good if you leave it out!)
2 tsp butter
2 Tbsp cream or half and half

Steps:

  • 1. Combine broth, chicken, squash, celery, pepper, seasoning blend, and salt and pepper in a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for about 30-45 minutes until chicken and veggies are desired tenderness.
  • 2. Stir in greens, if using, and cook until just wilted down, a minute or two more. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary. Stir in butter and cream.
  • 3. *This is not a thick cream soup. If you prefer it thicker, you would have to add some flour or cornstarch dissolved in a little cold water at the end when you add the cream. *This recipe also works well in the Crock Pot if you want a fix-it-and-forget-it meal, and in the pressure cooker if you need it in a hurry!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of colorful vegetables. This will make your soup more visually appealing and nutritious.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs. This is a great way to add flavor and depth to your soup.
  • If you want a thicker soup, add some cornstarch or flour. Just be sure to whisk it into the soup until it's completely dissolved.
  • Serve your soup with a side of bread or crackers. This will help to soak up the broth and make the meal more satisfying.

Conclusion:

Colorful chicken and squash soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's packed with healthy vegetables and protein, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give this soup a try.
