With the weather getting colder, this is hands down my favorite soup!

Ah, creamy butternut squash soup – it’s like a warm hug on those brisk Midwestern fall days. This humble yet delicious soup has been a staple in our family for generations. The butternut squash, sweet and tender, pairs perfectly with a touch of cream and a hint of nutmeg to bring out its natural sweetness. It’s a recipe born out of simplicity and nurtured by the lands of the Midwest, where squash grows abundantly in our gardens. It’s a perfect dish to warm you up and bring a bit of the harvest season into your home.
This creamy butternut squash soup pairs wonderfully with a fresh crusty bread, perfect for dipping and soaking up that rich, velvety texture. For a lighter meal, serve it with a simple mixed green salad with a tangy vinaigrette to balance the sweetness of the soup. If you’re feeling indulgent, a side of crispy bacon crumbles or a dollop of sour cream on top can add a delightful twist.
