Looking to start 2015 off with some healthy recipes?

Looking for warm, comforting recipes to get you through the cold winter?

Looking for easy recipes that taste great?

Love soups of any sort?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, I’m here with your new favorite recipe: Butternut Squash Tomato Soup.

So, we’ve been through this before: I. Love. Soups. I know it’s not a new story, which is why it’s kinda funny that I haven’t shared a new soup recipe here in forever.

The slightly surprising combination of ingredients in this are the brainchild of my mom, who kind of invented Butternut Squash Tomato Soup kinda by accident…with shabbos leftovers. But it was a huge hit, and she’s made it many times since. I decided that this cold spell means it’s about time I share a new soup recipe with you guys…so here you go! I hope you love it as much as my family did.

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 medium Spanish onions, peeled and finely diced
  • 1½ lb diced butternut squash (I used frozen)

  • 1 teaspoon basil
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
  1. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sautee for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until translucent. Add the butternut squash and continue to sautee for about 15-20 minutes, stirring a couple of times.
  2. Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer on a low flame for about 45-60 minutes.

    I’m also a big fan of soups, especially in the winter, so i’ll definitely be trying this one out soon. I’ve just got to say, i have seen many soup recipes before, but this combo of butternut squash and tomato is definitely a first. I’m willing to give it a try, though, since it comes from a trusted source- you!

    Sounds delicious! Should I drain the can of crushed tomatoes?

      No…the crushed tomatoes don’t have extra liquid – don’t used diced.

    Excellent recipe! Made mine with water and no broth and the flavor was great so no worries if you don’t have any on hand like me. (Used a total of 6cups water)

    How many servings does this make? Just wondering if I need a medium or large pot. Very excited to try this! I’ll probably blend it since I like puréed soups, and it seems perfect for a cold day!

      About 6-8 portions. I updated the recipe.

      It works nicely pureed too!

    I added carrots, celery and zucchini. If you skip the sugar, add a pinch of baking soda, the soup it too acidic otherwise.

    The soup was good, but not probably not amazing enough to make again. It froze some and will try to update how it freezes.

      I havent tried the soup yet but i think it might be a little wrong to rate a dish only 4 stars when you changed the entire recipe

        Agreed! You changed the whole recipe! That’s not her recipe you rated a four, it’s yours! Lol

    When I originally saw this recipe, the idea of tomatoes & butternut squash sounded extremely unappealing, to say the least. Then it was featured in Kveller, and I decided to take a second look & read all of the positive reviews & decided to make some. Boy is my family glad that I did! I’ve already made it twice-the second time I tripled the recipe to freeze. It is really an amazing tasting soup. I wanted to pass it along to my friend & when she saw the tittle she said “No, thanks”. I promised her that it would be delicious & she tried it and she loved it too! I also really appreciate that it has very simple, clean ingredients & is low fat (I didn’t add any sweetener & it was great).
    Thanks so much & keep up the fantastic work!

    Made this soup. used tomatoes put up last summer by local organic farmer, organic butternut squash, homemade chicken bone broth. My liquids were not measured precisely and I did not add any water. used a hand blender in the soup pot after it was cooked to puree some and thicken it leaving some soft bits of squash. Didnt have my preferred creme fraiche but did have sour cream and added a dollop and swirled it into my bowl. Got to use what I had on hand and made a wonderful thick comfort soup. Thank You for this recipe.
