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