Creamy Butternut Squash and Bacon Soup

October 27, 2015 by myrecipeconfessions

Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash and Bacon Soup. This soup is AMAZING! It is full of flavor and so easy to make. You can't go wrong with this recipe!

I love all things Butternut Squash! One of my favorite ways to cook the squash is roasting it. So I was more than excited when I saw the roasted butternut squash and bacon Soup by Damn Delicious. I always know that any recipe from Damn Delicious will be amazing, hence the name! I put my own personal spin on the original recipe and love how it turned out!

This soup has a mildly sweet flavor from the squash but it is balanced out perfectly by the bacon. Of course, everything is better with bacon!

I was able to whip up this soup pretty quickly. This is a great way to put the butternut squash from your garden to use! After being out in the chilly Autumn weather all day, this soup will warm you up in a hurry!

With love from my kitchen to yours,

Carrie

Creamy Roasted Butternut Squash and Bacon Soup. This soup is AMAZING! It is full of flavor and so easy to make. You can't go wrong with this recipe!

Creamy Butternut Squash and Bacon Soup

1 butternut squash ( about 2 1/2 to 3 lbs.) peeled, seeded and diced into 1 inch chunks

1 (16 oz.)pkg. of bacon

1 medium onion, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

3 cloves of garlic, minced

1 tbsp. of olive oil

2 tsp. of kosher salt

1 tsp. of black pepper

5 cups of chicken broth

1 cup of half & half

1/2 tsp. of thyme

Instructions

pre-heat oven to 400 degrees

  1. In a large bowl, toss the butternut squash, onion, garlic, bell pepper, 1 tsp. of salt, and 1/2 tsp. of black pepper in the olive oil. Place the vegetables and 5 strips of bacon onto a baking sheet and spread out evenly in a single layer. Roast the vegetables for 15 to 20 minutes on each side or until tender
  2.  Add the bacon in a large skillet. Cook the bacon over medium heat until it is brown and crispy, about 7-8 minutes. Transfer bacon to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up the excess grease. Once the bacon has cooled, crumble it with your hands.
  3. In a large sauce pan, cook the squash mixture and the thyme until fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add chicken broth and puree with an immersion blender, or in smaller batches in a blender. Stir in the half & half, bacon, and  remaining salt, and black pepper.  Simmer soup for 30 minutes.
