Crisp fall nights call for crocks filled with rich and silky Roasted Butternut Squash Soup! This roasted butternut squash soup is a family favorite with a subtle spicy kick! The best thing about this soup is that it uses pre-cubed squash, making it a convenient, easy, and elegant dish that will make any family member or guest think you slaved for hours!
I serve roasted butternut squash quite often as a side dish to pork, turkey, and chicken. This is an adaptation of my original family recipe. Let’s start the soup!
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe
A printable recipe is available at the bottom of this post.
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or with non-stick foil. Then gather your ingredients. The squash is already peeled, seeded and chopped (yay!). Most grocery stores will offer pre-cut butternut squash in containers. Buying the pre-cut squash is worth every penny!
Rosemary thrives in our area, grows into large bushes, and survives our mild winters. I recommend using fresh herbs whenever possible. Finely mince the rosemary. Your kitchen will instantly smell ah-maz-ing!!!!
Place the butternut squash on the lined sheet pan, add 1 chopped onion, and the minced rosemary.
Next, drizzle the olive oil over the vegtables, then sprinkle with the seasonings and spices (salt, pepper, cayenne, curry).
Time to get your hand dirty! Toss, stir and massage the veggies until everything is well coated with oil and spices.
Place in the 400 degree oven and roast for 40-45 minutes. Use a spatula to stir at 20 minutes. We want the squash to be super tender. Roasting carmelizes all the natural sugars in the onions and squash, amplifying the sweetness of the dish.
After roasting, transfer the squash to a food processor. Process until smooth and completely pureed. Microwave chicken (or veggie) broth until hot and then slowly pour into the squash puree while processing. Add in cream and pulse a few times to combine.
Pour the roasted butternut squash soup into individual bowls, like these cute pumpkin soup bowls and garnish with a dollop of sour cream and a fresh rosemary sprig. I hope you try this recipe this fall! Enjoy!

This soup looks delicious. I recently made a Roasted Butternut Squash soup from a different recipe and it was a little bland. I will try the addition of the curry powder. I know that will liven it up. Thank you.
Thanks Bettye!
Oh trust me, this one is not bland at all. For my kiddos, if they think it’s too spicy then I just add splash more cream. The curry adds a nice, earthy warmth but the cayenne is the kicker.
Thanks for stopping by!

I love the recipe and I intend to try it next week! What I love more, though, are your white pumpkin soup bowl and tureen set. Would it be possible for me to find one like it? Thanks in advance for any info you don’t mind sharing!
Thanks so much Maggie! I hope you enjoy it!
