Notes
Garnishing- For a creative touch, I tend to use different ingredients for garnishing. You can use olive oil or balsamic vinegar for more savory flavors. Toasted seeds or nuts will enhance the flavors and textures of your butternut squash soup. I have also experimented with herb-infused butter, which enhances the flavors and gives great results.
Roast The Squash- My go-to for this soup is roasting it before adding it. This intensifies the soup's natural sweetness and adds a depth of flavor. Trust me, you'll love the results if you roast the squash. But toss the squash in olive oil, salt, and pepper for better-enhanced flavors.
Spices & Herbs- Extra herbs and spices do wonders for taste and flavor. Hence, I suggest experimenting with different spices and herbs that fit your taste buds. Some of my favorite options include nutmeg, cinnamon, or curry powder.
Make The Soup Creamy- I like this soup creamy, so I always add cashews before blending it to give it a super creamy finish.
Veggies - I often add more veggies to this butternut squash soup to make it healthier and tastier. My best choices are sweet potatoes, kale leaves, celery, or leeks.
Balance Sweetness with Acidity- Once cooked, I recommend adding a splash of lemon juice to balance out the sweetness in the soup.
