I know it’s probably not fair for me to toot my own horn about my recipe, but this is hands-down the best butternut squash soup you will ever make! Not to mention how unbelievably easy it is to prepare. I like to add cream cheese to give the soup a rich texture. But if you want to make it dairy-free, you can put in ½ cup of your favorite milk substitute and the soup will still be delish! Make sure to add the cream cheese or milk substitute when the soup is done cooking, right before it’s blended. Enjoy!

August 22, 2017 at 8:24 pmThe squash soup looks great. Is there anything you can substitute the cream cheese for??

Absolutely, you can make the soup without the cream cheese or substitute the cream cheese with 1/2 cup soy milk. Enjoy!
