Butternut Squash Chowder

Butternut Squash Chowder with detailed photo and video recipe – Combines with onion and potatoes for creaminess. I have made a lot of sweet treats lately, so it’s time for something a little healthier. The soup itself is lean and vegetable-rich, with butternut squash, combining with onion, spinach, and a few potatoes for a creamy texture, without the need for a lot of cream. 

This soup comes together really quickly, needing just enough time to simmer the vegetables to tenderness. Once tender, you can puree this soup a bit to blend the flavors, leaving just a bit of chunky vegetables for some color. During the coldest months, I love to enjoy soup.  I don’t make chowder often because of it’s tendency for high fat content.  

Variations to the Roasted Butternut Squash Chowder recipe:

  1. If you want a less intense butternut squash flavor, try cooking the squash right in the soup with the potatoes instead of roasting it.
  2. As always, taste test your chowder as you go.  Add more salt, pepper or half and half to suite your tastes.
  3. This recipe is easily doubled if you are serving a crowd or like leftovers.
  4. If you cut a whole squash you will likely have leftover butternut squash
