VITAMIX® BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
I was looking for a great butternut squash soup recipe that was creamy with great flavor. I found that I liked elements of many of the ones out there, but none hit the mark. So I created my own in the Vitamix®! My husband is an extremely picky eater when it comes to food consistency and he loved it. I hope you do as well. This recipe is now in our regular rotation. Top with paprika and parsley or your desired spice.

- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Tips:
- Choose the right squash: Look for butternut squash that is firm and has a deep, orange color. Avoid squash that has any soft spots or blemishes.
- Roast the squash before making the soup: Roasting the squash brings out its natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast the squash in the oven or on a grill.
- Use a high-powered blender: A high-powered blender will ensure that the soup is smooth and creamy. If you don't have a high-powered blender, you can use a regular blender, but you may need to blend the soup in batches.
- Add spices and herbs to taste: Season the soup with spices and herbs to your liking. Some common spices and herbs that go well with butternut squash soup include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, thyme, and sage.
- Serve the soup hot: Butternut squash soup is best served hot. You can garnish the soup with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a drizzle of olive oil.

Butternut squash soup is a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a fall or winter meal.
