Creamy Butternut Soup with Bacon Crumbles

This soup is good, ,really good. Butternut squash soup may sound kind of strange, but trust me on this. It is a creamy soup made with butternut squash, stock, onions and a few seasonings and then topped with bacon crumblings. You can give it that creamy, comfort food texture using sour cream, cream or even coconut milk for a dairy free version. They all work well.

Pin It

The sweetness of the butternut squash pairs perfectly with the saltiness from the bacon, while the creamy texture of the soup compliments the crunchiness of the bacon. This isn’t just a recipe for the ladies, it appeals to the whole family, even those guys who are your classic meat and potatoes types. They may be skeptical but once they have a taste, it seals the deal.
