Cozy Fall Soup: Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash or Pumpkin Soup for Chilly Evenings

Hey Y’all,

Fall is in full swing here in Montgomery, and there’s nothing cozier than a warm, creamy soup on a crisp October evening. This week, we’re keeping it versatile—you can make it with roasted butternut squash or fresh pumpkin depending on what’s in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium butternut squash (or 1 small pumpkin), peeled, seeded, and cubed
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg, pinch of cayenne (optional)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss squash or pumpkin with olive oil, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Roast for 25–30 minutes until tender.
  2. In a large pot, sauté onion and garlic until soft.
  3. Add roasted squash/pumpkin and broth. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  4. Blend soup until smooth using a hand blender or in batches in a countertop blender.
