This butternut poblano soup has just a hint of spiciness from the roasted poblano and a subtle blend of spices. It's delicious and incredibly nutritious and a great way to use some of that beautiful butternut squash coming from the garden or your CSA box.

    1. Yes that’s correct, but the garlic is doubled from most recipes. If you’re not a huge garlic fan, feel free to half it back to 9 teaspoons. It seems like a lot, but the creamy squash balances it out.

  3. Thanks for posting the recipe! I gave this one a try yesterday and really enjoyed the results (tweaking it slightly to use what I had on hand). I have to say it took be by surprise just how much the sweetness of the roasted squash came thru in the finished soup. Paired with a ham and grilled cheese sandwich it made an excellent dinner.I roasted and skinned two Poblano peppers. The second I pureed with a bit of leftover fat free half and half. I drizzled the puree over each bowl of soup just before serving.

    1. About 36. It’s a large amount of butternut squash, but if that garlic amount seems like too much for you, feel free to start out with half (18) and work your way up.
