Roasted Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup
Updated March 26, 2019
It is March, which means madness!:) I LOVE March Madness! I think my dad had me filling out a bracket as a baby. Our family really gets into basketball, so this is a fun and crazy time for us! I am sad Illinois didn’t make the tournament, but I think they will be good next year:) I don’t have a favorite team, but I am still excited to watch and hopefully see a few upsets-Kansas-you can lose anytime, thanks:)
I never get sick of soup. I know it is spring and all, but soup remains on the menu at our house all year long. I had a butternut squash and sweet potato sitting on the counter together. A light bulb went on “upstairs” and I decided to turn them into soup. I found a lonely carrot in the fridge, so I invited him to the party as well:)
I roasted the vegetables in the oven to bring out their best flavors. Then I threw everything in a pot with an onion, garlic, vegetable broth, and spices. I pureed the soup with my magic wand and was very pleased with my roasted squash soup. It is very creamy and smooth. The cinnamon adds a hint of sweetness that had me wanting more.
Don’t give up on soups just yet, try this one and then you can get out the spring and summer recipes!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the March Madness!

Enjoy the weekend & the march madness 🙂
We love this time of year too. Things get crazy in KY with the love of basketball! I don’t often tire of soup either. I’m stuck on tomato basil right now, but this one looks great too.
Yum, this soup sounds really good!
Oh yes, roasting the veggies first gives so much more flavor. Lovely soup, yes I could go for this all year round too. My kids would also like this 🙂
Gorgeous, Maria–it looks so velvety! I totally need to get an immersion blender. I’ve waited way too long.
Two od my favorite winter veggies together, yum!
I’m super excited for March Madness too! Your soup looks yummy – great combination of flavors 🙂

I have been making this soup all winter, it’s the only thing that made winter bearable 😉 can’t wait to try out your recipe!
I never tire of soup either, Maria. This sounds so healthy and delicious! Thanks so much for linking to my recipe.
Maria, these warm spices work very well with a squash soup. It’s one of my faves…rib-stickin’ good!
that looks like a soup I’d love! thanks 🙂
Love butternut! I did not use nearly enough of it this year.
Oh, I completely need to make this. Like, NOW. Yum!
All of my friends are so into March Madness right now! It’s definitely contagious.

I am glad most of you are still enjoying soup! It snowed in Utah yesterday so winter isn’t over:(
This is my daughter’s favourite kind of soup – delicious!
Don’t you just love those happy kitchen accidents! What a great combo for the soup.
What a lovely soup! We enjoy soup year round 🙂
I LOVE butternut squash and sweet potato. And soup.
Amaaazing recipe!
This soup combines 3 of my favorite soup purees in one. It sounds so rich and delicious, especially with the cinnamon!
We just had another blizzard yesterday and our gorgeous spring days are now back to winter again! But this soup sounds like a perfect tummy warmer to me!
sounds delicious 🙂 my bracket started out well, but i don’t hold out much hope after the big loss yesterday!
Ah, this soup sounds perfect and healthy too!
I never grow weary of this flavor profile, even in spring.
Beautiful, beautiful soup!
Perfect to go with the biscuits!!!
Beautiful… I love soups with butternut squash, and I’m sure the potato is wonderful with it. I imagine the tomato helps to enhance the velvety texture that I love so much about butternut squash soup!
Looks like you got a perfect consistency with your wand. I still always end up with chunks unless I use my food processor (which I hate washing). I love that combination!
Thanks for mentioning my soup! Yours looks delicious too. So rich and creamy…
Great soup. Wish I had some now…It’s raining here in Phoenix
WOW! I made this last night and it was incredible!!! Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe.
Glad you enjoyed the soup. I need to make a batch soon!
This saws really flavorful and silky. Can’t wait to try it.
Just made this recipe and I’m very happy with the result. I roasted all the veggies including the onion and garlic. I didn’t add nutmeg and the taste is still outta this world. Thank you for the recipe
The veggies from my CSA are piling up, especially the butternut and sweet potatoes so that’s what I googled andgot your recipe. Can’t wait to try it
Thanks
Hi! I just made this soup today for my husband and it was a big hit! So yummy!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Fyi, i didn’t have any carrots so I put a green apple in there 🙂
Ciao, Leah
I added a roasted red pepper, smoked paprika, a bit of ground red pepper and substituted whole milk for the water.
It is so so good!
I absolutely loved this soup. i made my own vegetable stock and this came out perfect. the best soup i have ever made. Thank you
You are welcome!
I made this soup recipe for thanksgiving and it was delicious! Thank you for your simple yet tasty recipe.
Delicious recipe, thank you!!
Hi,
I was wondering what the nutrition facts were?
I love this! However I bake the whole squash cut in half and then it is super easy to just scoop out the insides.
Silly question, but are you supposed to use 15 oz or 30 oz of broth?
I use 15 oz cans
Made this tonight and honestly it might be the best thing I ever made. Creamy and delicious! This recipe is golden! Thanks!
Also I think Erin above might be asking how much total broth the recipe calls for and I think it’s 30 oz total. I used a 900 ml carton (which equals 30 oz)
This soup tastes amazing and is super easy to make!
I made this recipe exactly as directly and it was TO DIE FOR! Definately is going to be a family favorite. Thank you so much for sharing.
Love this soup. I have made it several times and it has been a hit! This last time I made it I added a peeled and diced apple and roasted it along with the other veggies, so so good!
Hi, I don’t have vegetable stock. What do you think about chicken stock or chicken bouillon. Also, I am using an acorn squash instead of butternut squash. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I have to say, I had the curry powder ready in case the cinnamon and nutmeg didn’t do it for me, but it is wonderful just as written! And easy…my favorite combination.
I used my pressure cooker. After adding the water and soup base I cooked it under pressure for 10 min….then used the immersion blender, and it was great right out of the pot. Thanks!
Love it! So smooth and tasty, this is my go-to soup in the fall.
I made this soup and it looks great, however, I put one dessertspoon of cinnamon in instead of one tablespoon. Way too much. how do I counteract this? By adding more squash and broth? any suggestions?
Made this last night – and it’s a definite “keeper”! Only change was to add about a quarter teaspoon of Aleppo pepper for a bit of heat. Great recipe!
I not to mention my pals were found to be reading the good suggestions from your website then unexpectedly came up with an awful feeling I never expressed respect to the website owner for those secrets. The boys had been as a result stimulated to study them and have now extremely been taking advantage of these things. We appreciate you simply being well kind and for deciding upon this sort of really good useful guides millions of individuals are really wanting to understand about. Our honest apologies for not expressing appreciation to sooner.
