Butternut squash and sweet potato soup is creamy without adding any cream. A great way to get a creamy texture is to puree the soup.
My recipe for this butternut squash and sweet potato soup is super creamy. Yet, there is no cream. This soup is low-calorie, low-fat, and tasty.
This soup is really hearty and fills me up!
This is a family favorite soup, and I hope you make it and enjoy it as much as we do. I pair this with my Roasted Seasoned Winter Squash Seeds. Nothing gets wasted in the butternut squash. The seeds are seasoned with Homemade Seasoning Salt, which works great on any squash seeds. Add a little low-fat sour cream as a garnish, and enjoy.

Lisa
This soup looks amazing but I don’t know how much butter squash to use or how many sweet potatoes to use. Can you please let me know?
Eileen xo
Hi Lisa, I have recently changed how my recipes are published and I am still reviewing the corrections. Thank you for letting me know about the ingredients in the soup not showing correctly. I have corrected the amounts. I use a large butternut squash. Usually its around 4.5 - 5 pounds. The sweet potatoes I use 2 large sweet potatoes. I don't normally weigh them. I hope that helps. I hope you let me know how the soup is after you make it.

Butternut squash and sweet potato in a soup sounds awesome! This is going to be my new comfort food. I would probably throw in croutons or serve this with breadsticks. Yum!
