Roasted Butternut Squash and Tomato Soup

I tend to do a lot of things on a whim and this soup is the result of just that.

I was at Cost­co in the veg­etable fridge room and spot­ted a con­tain­er of cubed organ­ic but­ter­nut squash and knew I would be mak­ing some soup.…I put it in my cart.

The toma­toes in my orig­i­nal recipe were actu­al­ly toma­toes I had just cooked down from the last batch from our farmer friend’s gar­den. It sound­ed good to me to include them in the soup so the crushed toma­toes in the recipe are the sub­sti­tute for those I used.

And here is a clip from a Face­book LIVE I did on how I cut up a but­ter­nut squash.

The Titan peel­ers I men­tion in the video are FABULOUS and can be ordered from Ama­zon or they are also avail­able at Bed Bath and Beyond.

They are a set of two, one is the straight peel­er I show AND anoth­er that ZOODLES veg­eta­bles beau­ti­ful­ly! You can get rid of that spiralizer!

Have fun mak­ing this EASY, deli­cious soup and as always, make it your own!
