Vitamix® Butternut Squash Soup
I was looking for a great butternut squash soup recipe that was creamy with great flavor. I found that I liked elements of many of the ones out there, but none hit the mark. So I created my own in the Vitamix®! My husband is an extremely picky eater when it comes to food consistency and he loved it. I hope you do as well. This recipe is now in our regular rotation. Top with paprika and parsley or your desired spice.

Cook's Notes:
For a creamier soup, use more half-and-half or heavy cream in place of evaporated milk. For a spicier soup, adjust cayenne pepper. To make it vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth.
Change it up by adding potatoes, celery, or a different type of squash.
Instead of roasting the squash, you can boil it for 20 to 25 minutes. Add sauteed ingredients and puree in a blender or food processor until desired consistency is reached. Transfer soup back to the saucepan and heat through, but do not boil.
