Loaded Butternut Squash Soup

I wanted to create a hearty dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian soup that I could feel good about eating all year round and the results were amazing. It’s a super simple one-pot recipe that cooks in just 30 minutes.

My Loaded Butternut Squash Soup is filled with healthy ingredients and, unlike many other versions, it’s only half blended to give it a great consistency. Every bite is creamy and full of potatoes, squash, and corn. I love having texture in my soup so this is my ideal combination to allow for a thick butternut squash base with veggies in every bite.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion chopped
  • 6 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 large butternut squash peeled, seeds removed, and chopped
  • 1 medium russet potato peeled and chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 4 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 15 oz corn

Instructions
 

  • Heat a large pot over medium-high heat and add olive oil.
  • Add the onion and sauté for about 5 minutes, until the onion begins to brown. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the butternut squash, potato, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
  • Cover and cook for about 20 minutes, until the squash and potato are fork-tender.
  • Add half of your soup into a blender and blend until creamy, about 1 minute. Make sure to vent while blending so the hot liquid doesn't pop the top off.
  • Pour the blended soup back into the pot and mix. Add in the corn and heat until simmering and hot.
  • Serve and enjoy!
