I am not a fan of peeling butternut squash but I do like the vegetable. So I have developed an easy to make butternut squash soup and you won’t miss all the work.
The best part of all is that this recipe tastes just as good as the traditional recipe. I substitute canned or frozen butternut squash for fresh squash and apple butter for fresh apples. I like the little bit of spice the apple butter adds, but you can use unsweetened applesauce if you prefer. It is ready in 30 minutes and you won’t need your immersion blender for this soup.
