Add the cream once the soup has blended.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup<\/h2>\n<p>Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or in the pot you cook it in (with a lid) for easy re-warming. Consume any leftovers within five days.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze butternut squash and sweet potato soup?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Freezing this soup ahead of time is a wonderful way to enjoy it months down the road when you don&#8217;t have the time to make it but are craving a hearty and warming meal. First make the soup and allow it to cool completely. Store it in a freezer safe airtight container, like a glass Mason jar or a plastic container with a well-fitting lid. Just be sure to leave room at the top for expansion. It&#8217;ll freeze for at least three months if stored properly.<\/p>\n<h2>Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2058650\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/TOHD_175504_JonathanMelendez_6.jpg\" alt=\"Close up of Taste Recipes's butternut squash and sweet potato soup served in brown soup crocks on a brown marble surface.\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Jonathan Melendez for Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Can I use other types of squash?<\/h3>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t have butternut squash on hand you can swap out the type that you use \u2013 but be aware that the flavor will change a bit. While butternut squash soup and sweet potato soup is a classic fall staple, you can use any winter squash for this soup recipe. Buttercup, Hubbard, sugar pumpkins and acorn squash can all be used interchangeably with this recipe.<\/p>\n<h3>My squash is taking forever to soften. What else can I do?<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes squash takes awhile to soften enough to puree. If you&#8217;d like, you can roast the vegetables first. To do this, roast vegetables on a sheet pan with a generous drizzle of EVOO and coarsely ground salt sprinkled over the top. Once the vegetables have softened,\u00a0 continue on with the recipe as outlined above. Roasting the veggies should take about 45 minutes and cut the cooking time, as the ingredients are already softened. As a bonus, roasting will bring out the hearty flavors of the vegetables in a more robust way and add to the overall flavors of the soup.<\/p>\n<h3>What should I serve with this soup?<\/h3>\n<p>This soup is lovely served alongside a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/savory-apple-chicken-sausage\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/savory-apple-chicken-sausage\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">hearty apple sausage<\/a>, as an appetizer to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/black-bean-rice-burgers\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/black-bean-rice-burgers\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">black bean burgers <\/a>or with a side of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/fresh-green-beans-garlic\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/fresh-green-beans-garlic\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">green beans,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/roasted-beet-wedges\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/roasted-beet-wedges\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">roasted beets<\/a>\u00a0or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/balsamic-brussels-sprouts-with-bacon\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/balsamic-brussels-sprouts-with-bacon\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">balsamic Brussels sprouts<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This creamy butternut squash and sweet potato soup is chock full of flavor, nutrients, and warming fall-friendly ingredients.
