BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Delicious and very easy to make. You can use 3 to 4 cups of chicken broth instead of the water and bouillon cubes. Also works well with half as much cream cheese if you don't want it too rich.

ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH CREAM SOUP WITH GINGER
This is our favorite butternut squash soup and the whole family loves it. I usually make a huge pot of soup and freeze parts of it before adding the cream. I like my soup thick, so I don't add a ton of vegetable broth, but feel free to thin it out with more broth.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color. Avoid squash that has blemishes or soft spots.
- Roast the squash before pureeing: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. Be sure to roast the squash until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. Look for a broth that is low in sodium and has a rich flavor.
- Don't overcook the soup: Cream of butternut squash soup is best when it is slightly thick and creamy. Overcooking the soup will make it thin and watery.
- Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or spices: A sprinkle of fresh herbs or spices can add a pop of flavor and color to the soup. Try garnishing the soup with chopped chives, thyme, sage, or nutmeg.
Conclusion:
Cream of butternut squash soup is a delicious and versatile soup that can be enjoyed year-round. It is a great way to use up leftover squash, and it can be easily adapted to suit your own taste.
