Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Soup

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of enjoying Panera Bread’s squash soup. I’m not usually very into Panera or their food (just been there so many times!) but this soup was so. good. Immediately upon the first spoonful, I knew I had to make my own. I’d had it with 1/2 of their turkey cranberry sandwich. I loved the combination of the sweet soup with the savory sandwich. Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Soup

I accompanied the soup with toasted homemade cranberry walnut bread.

HAHA just kidding, the bread is from the store. God, I’m funny.

Anyway, it was absolutely the perfect accompaniment for the soup.

To make the soup, I used our Ninja blender. While the Ninja is good, I do believe having a very high-quality blender is the key to a creamy squash soup. For instance, a Vitamix. It was still creamy, but if you have a Vitamix or a restaurant-grade blender, your smooth-o-meter will be off the charts. If you aren’t the proud owner of a great blender, I suggest adding cream or coconut cream to the soup to amplify the creaminess.

    Confession: I made the world’s worst butternut squash soup last year and I’ve been scared to try since! There’s no telling where I went wrong, but I think I need to get back on the horse and this looks like the perfect recipe for me to do so! I love that it has pumpkin too.

    Savory? Love it. I can’t think of a squash variety I don’t like. I’ve been using white beans as a soup thickener a lot lately. Pinning your recipe for menu planning.

    Panera is good..but homemade trumps every time. You did an amazing job lining up those pepitas BTW! Every time I try and get artsy with my food it ends up looking like a kid playing chef in the kitchen ha!
