This vegan roasted butternut squash soup is what creamy, dreamy soups are made of. Add this easy soup to your fall and winter menu.
This easy roasted butternut squash soup is the perfect bowl to warm you up! I’ve had this recipe ready and in regular rotation since last fall but it’s finally making it to the blog.
Gather these ingredients
To make this super simple soup, you’ll only need a handful of ingredients.
Butternut squash
Extra virgin olive oil
Sweet onion
Garlic
Vegetable broth
Salt and pepper
Walnuts (optional but recommended)
Tips for success
The soup requires just a few simple ingredients and the recipe can be adjusted to your taste and what you have on hand.
The extra virgin olive oil helps to give it extra body and a silky texture.
I added an extra drizzle of that plus crushed walnuts for a little texture. You can use your favorite nut or a couple of croutons as a topper.
Though the ingredient list is short, I can’t stress this enough.
Roast the butternut squash. Roasting the squash provides an incredibly sweet, caramelized flavor that just cannot be beat.
Boiling just doesn’t achieve the same results. While it will still be a tasty soup – because most anything butternut squash is – it won’t have the same richness.
This soup is a great way to use up any of my leftover Roasted Butternut Squash and Apples too. Just toss them right in with the broth.

You said it right – this is what creamy dreamy soups are made of.
Looks like smooth silk and so delish especially in this cold weather.
