Creamy butternut squash soup, topped with coconut yogurt, pepitas and pecans on top. Dairy-free and naturally sweet from the squash itself!

Fall recipes will forever be my favorite! It’s just so cozy! I love soups, especially ones that include squash like this 🙂 Butternut squash can be used in soups, roasted in bowls or pureed to be used in baked recipes.

Every time I buy a butternut squash, I create 2-3 recipes with it because there’s so much flesh to use! If you want, you can cut this recipe in half and use the other half to make my honey pecan butternut squash bread or butternut squash bars!

Butternut squash can be used in place of a mashed banana or mashed sweet potato in many recipes. It’s naturally sweet and gives moisture to many baked recipes. Butternut squash has a bright orange color so it’s high in vitamin A, which gets converted to beta-carotene, promoting eye health!

This soup is perfect to cozy up to during the fall and winter season! You can also freeze them into cubes to save them for the summer! 🙂
