Hello lovelies,
Every year myself and my family celebrate bonfire night. We have a family tradition that every year we gather at my uncles house and have a firework display.
Whilst watching the firework display, my auntie always hands out a soup which she’s made and boy, is it good. It’s the perfect soup to warm you up inside whilst your out in the cold – we love it!
Recently, myself and my mum were racking our brains on what vegetable to put in our soup when a butternut squash came to our minds. It’s a vegetable that neither myself or my mum have tried so we thought we’d give it a go.
Now, I don’t mean to toot my own horn or anything but I think this is the PERFECT soup for this time of year! It’s autumnal, it’s a proper warming soup which will be perfect for the cold nights ahead and a bonfire night dream.
So, if you’d like to make this soup yourself, my recipe is below:

yum I love butternut squash. I usually just cut mine in half and then bake them in the oven. but I want to try this soup recipe. I don’t have a soup machine though ( didn’t know it was even a thing) so I’ll have to cook on the stove or use my crockpot

But, you honestly don’t have to have one, make it however works for you. It will taste just as good! Thank you so much for commenting Xo

I made a big pot of butternut squash apple soup just two days ago by roasting apples, butternut squash, carrot, onion, and garlic, then cooking the vegetables in chicken broth with spices and blending it smooth with a hand blender. Best fall soup ever with cheese and pine nuts!
Love that you have some chili powder in yours; a little spice is just right. 🙂

This sounds like the perfect soup for an autumn day! I’m not sure what is meant by a soup machine though. Is it like a pressure cooker?
Author
It really is the most perfect soup for these colder autumn days ahead. I wouldn’t say it’s like a pressure machine, it’s more of a blender which heats up. But you can make soup in a slow cooker if you haven’t got a soup machine. Thank you so much for commenting Xo
