Butternut Squash and Poblano Soup

October 30, 2014 by naivecookcooks 18 Comments

This soup has both sweet and spicy notes and that makes it a perfect winter comfort food in a bowl!

Butternut Squash and Poblano Soup

Can you believe that it’s almost Halloween?!! I feel that October just started few days back  and now here we are with only a day between us and November!! Soon there will be Christmas!

Temps have started to come down here now and weather like this demands a soul warming soup. I will be honest here and tell you that I am not much of a butternut squash soup eater but this combo – TO DIE FOR. Not lying, when I say that I made 3 big bowls of this soup and ate it all  by myself in 2 days! This is one healthy, nourishing bowl of goodness. The sweetness from roasted squash and the spiciness from poblano pepper gives it a kick that you usually see in holiday dishes loaded with spices such as ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves. To me butternut squash and poblano soup represents beginning of cold weather,big fuzzy sweaters, endless cups of hot chocolates and warm comforting foods.

The Best Autumn Soup is Butternut Squash Soup

So seriously make this soup. It is stupidly simple to make and freezes like a charm. Make a big batch of it and have it for a quick nourishing goodness filled dinner ready in minutes. The  day you are planning on eating the leftovers, just take it out of the freezer and let it thaw in refrigerator or kitchen countertop. Before serving, heat it nicely all the way through and serve with yogurt or sour cream along with a good amount of these crunchy ghee roasted squash seeds!

Butternut Squash and Poblano Soup is the perfect winter soup

    I feel like months definitely go by faster the older we get. But I swear I’ve heard MORE people say this October was the fastest month yet than ever before. It’s crazy. This soup looks so delicious- I do love butternut squash soup, but think the addition of poblano must make it even better!!

    I’m not generally one for butternut squash soup either, but this one looks interesting! I love the addition of the poblano pepper for some spiciness. Going to have to try it!
