Notes

  • Buy Pre-Peeled and Cubed Squash: It costs a little more, but peeling and cubing a raw butternut squash is genuinely no easy task! Grabbing it already prepped from the store saves you a solid 15 minutes and a whole lot of effort.
  • Blend Until Completely Smooth: The key to that velvety, restaurant-quality texture is blending thoroughly. If using a regular blender, fill it only halfway and hold the lid down with a towel — hot soup expands and you really don't want a blender explosion on your hands!
  • Stir In a Dollop of Yogurt for Extra Creaminess: This is the trick that takes the soup to the next level! Whisking in a spoonful of Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt right before serving thickens everything up and adds a beautiful, luscious creaminess without any dairy.
