Notes
Why is this Butternut Squash Soup Made without milk?
Because it doesn't need it :) Once you try this, you won't even miss the milk. The creaminess of the squash + veggies when blended tastes just like soup that has milk in it. You really don't need it!
What can you serve this butternut squash soup recipe with?
- I like to garnish with fresh cilantro and toasted pumpkin seeds
- You can add bacon bits on top
- Serve it alongside these Whole30 Cashew Coconut Chicken Tenders for a well balanced meal
- If you're not paleo/whole30 - a big loaf of crusty bread :)
