3 Ingredient Butternut Squash Sheet Pan Soup

Jump to Recipe Add to Prep Sesh Print Recipe

This creamy, bursting-with-flavor, totally simple butternut squash soup is made with just THREE ingredients – plus olive oil and salt/pepper- and it is so easy that sometimes I start it in the morning so I can eat it by lunch.

It’s a work-from-home dream soup, since it also freezes really well, especially when you’ve got something handy to store it in like Soupercubes (aff) or my favorite reusable silicone-based bags.

(psst! Afraid of cutting into those huge butternut squashes and losing a finger in the process? Just microwave it for 30 seconds, it’ll soften the skin enough that your knife will slide right in)

If you want to make this vegan, vegetable broth works just as well as chicken or beef broth. You can “jazz” it up by adding a splash of heavy cream, too!

You can also add a couple of cleaned, trimmed leeks to the roasting pan. They add a depth of flavor balanced out by the sweet roasted garlic.

I used to make something like this for my kids when they were little and just getting into food. This soup is so comforting and simple, it makes a great first food for baby and a weeknight meal for adults all at the same time.

Grab yourself a crusty bread loaf, and you’re golden!

This creamy soup is so flavorful, you won't believe it's only made with 3 ingredients! Make it vegetarian or blended with chicken broth.

Notes

This simple recipe could not be easier! Simply roast the squash and garlic on a sheet pan, then blend to creamy deliciousness with chicken (or vegetable broth) It freezes great, makes a fabulous quick work-from-home lunch, and the sweet flavor of roasted garlic takes it to a whole other level of flavor.

You work hard. Dinner should be easy.

At Percolate Kitchen, we believe that the “third shift” of getting dinner ready shouldn’t mean reinventing the wheel every evening.

Recipes on our site are broken down into simple, step-by-step processes so you can be flexible with your time- make the meal fresh, prep the ingredients to assemble and cook later, or do a little bit of both.
