Best Smoky Butternut Squash Soup Recipes
ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP WITH SMOKY BACON *
Taken from the Food Channel website, This rustic winter soup comes alive with the flavor of sweet caramelized roasted butternut squash and plump carrots. Its golden-yellow color and garnish of smoky-sweet crumbled bacon makes this a real eye-popper and show stopper. Why Try? Butternut squash and carrots are considered 'super foods' because they're full of disease-fighting beta-carotene and fiber. Healthier Option: Omit the bacon and sauté the onions in olive oil. You can also toast the seeds from the squash for a nice crunchy garnish. For a vegetarian option, replace the chicken broth with vegetable broth or water.
