My Favorite Butternut Squash Soup


Hey, Reader,

I can't believe it's September 1 and the fall season is upon us! Over the last two months, I took an impromptu break from the blog to spend time decluttering my house, reading lots of books, enjoying summer with friends and family (and my dog of course!), and restocking my freezer with meals for fall.

It was the first time I had taken a good chunk of time off to enjoy summer in...as long as I can remember and I'm so grateful I had the chance to indulge in the opportunity. But today, we're getting back into the swing of things with my favorite butternut squash soup recipe!

This Crockpot Butternut Squash Soup is:

  • Made with simple ingredients
  • Almost entirely hands-off
  • Vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free
  • Freezer-friendly
  • The ultimate pair for grilled cheese or hot paninis

To make it more budget-friendly, opt for frozen squash, bulk onions, and more affordable oils like vegetable or olive oil. Get ready to enjoy a comforting bowl of this vibrant soup with minimal effort!

Enjoy!
