Easy Butternut Squash and Sausage Soup Recipe
Squash is the perfect versatile fall ingredient. Whether you want to make Stuffed Acorn Squash with sausage which is a full meal, a lighter Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, or Sweet and Spicy Acorn Squash as a side dish, nothing says fall like squash. For this hearty soup, I used butternut squash which is naturally a bit sweet and it’s the perfect contrast to the slightly spicy ground Italian sausage and fire-roasted tomatoes. Great Northern beans add extra protein and fiber and fresh spinach gives a pop of color and more texture. I’m telling you, this soup is bursting with texture and layers of flavor! And did I mention, it’s hearty and filling and overall, it’s a healthy option. Those people who say ‘soup isn’t really a meal’ will change their tune after a bowl of this! Made in one pot, and ready in 30 minutes, this is cozy comfort food for fall, winter, and chilly weather. Or this soup is the perfect accompaniment to your Thanksgiving and Christmas recipe lineup.

How To Make Sausage and Butternut Squash Soup
Follow these straightforward instructions and with about 10 minutes of prep time and 30 mins total time, you’ll be enjoying this soup. While I don’t normally ever buy precut fruits and veggies because they’re more expensive that way, this is one veggie that I do. Look for it in your grocer’s produce department. You’ll need 2 1/2 to 3 cups cubed squash. And make sure they’re small about 1/2-inch size (dice them in half if needed) because it’s what will take the longest to soften and will hold up your soup.
