There’s something about pureed soups filled with the flavors of fall that warms my tummy and soul. I remember the first time I had homemade butternut squash soup. It was many years ago, and I remember thinking that my stepfather was nuts for going through the extra step of pureeing. It seemed like a bit much to do.

You may think a pureed soup requires a lot of work, but it doesn’t. Trust me, after you make your first homemade butternut squash soup, you won’t turn back. After I stole a taste of my stepfather’s soup I was mad at myself for doubting it. It’s totally worth it and the extra step of pureeing will seem like no big deal once you’ve had a taste!
