Butternut squash soup is one of my very favorite soups. Fall is here, and when the weather starts to cool down, I crave soup.

Why Make Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut squash soup is simple and quick to make. And extremely nutritious.

It's made from butternut squash and chicken stock, which is so nourishing. It's full of gelatin, which is what our bodies need for healthy skin, hair, bones and teeth, as well as feel-good brain chemicals like dopamine and serotonin. Read my post about Julia Ross and how to eat to create more feel-good brain chemicals.

When you add healthy fats and butter and sour cream, this is one of the most nutritious meals you can serve.

Note: I am going back and updating and republishing all my recipes. You see, my blog really got attacked over the past decade. I was deplatformed and censored by Big Tech, and everything fell apart.

So I'm taking the first step on the journey of cleaning up and republishing over 800 blog posts. One day at a time, one post at a time, I will get my life back together. Thank you for reading and for supporting me in my journey of recovery.

Recipe Notes

Be sure to always use organic chicken broth. Conventional chicken broth is loaded with fluoride. Read about the top 10 dangers of fluoride and why you need to avoid it.

You can make your own broth at home very inexpensively. Just use bones from organic chickens. All I do is roast a chicken every couple weeks and I use the bones to make broth.

I store the bone broth in the fridge or freezer (depending on how fast I use it) and I use it as the basis for all my recipes – for soups, stews and sauces. I also cook beans, rice and other grains in broth instead of water.

Also, if you can, buy grass-fed butter and sour cream. Grass-fed dairy products are much higher in fat-soluble vitamins and omega-3 fatty acids.
