Butternut Squash Soup

 

Butternut Squash, Sweet potatoes and pumpkin just scream FALL! I love love love soup when the weather begins to cool down. I’m in Louisiana, so cool to us is around 65. That’s when we bust out our pocket warmers, mittens and hoodies. And soup. This soup is sooooo easy to freeze! It always makes more than we can eat immediately so we can enjoy it all week, or freeze and eat over the course of a month or two here and there!

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons almond or coconut oil
    • 1 medium onion, diced
    • 1 medium butternut squash, peeled, seeded and diced into 2-inch cubes
