I make this stuff a few time a year, and big batches because it’s so popular.
- Roast the butternut, just don’t bother making it unless you do this.
- Use chicken stock instead of veggie stock, the chicken stock has umami that veggie stock doesn’t, of course if you want to stay vegan etc don’t do this.
- Add a good whack (for about 4L of soup, I add about 1 cup) of smooth peanut butter.
- A small amount of curry powder, garam massala etc. again, for about 4L I would add about 1 to 2 teaspoons.
Butternut soup can be mundane, but those tips will always guarantee a hit.

Protip – Roast the squash with a little butter in the oven for the BEST squash flavor. Then make soup.
