"When the weather finally starts to cool down, pumpkins start to appear at seemingly every store you walk into, and apple pies start replacing popsicles, then you know it's time to embrace fall. One of the absolute best ways to do so is to lean into seasonal produce. There are so many delicious fruits and veggies to eat during the fall months,"
"You're trying to get dinner on the table quickly, and the idea of going through the hassle of roasting your butternut squash before making the soup sounds like a complete waste of time. But hear us out when we say that this is an incredibly important step that you definitely should not skip. Roasting your squash is beneficial for many reasons. First of all, it softens the squash, which makes it much easier to turn into a smooth purée."
Fall produce like butternut squash brings subtle sweetness and bold earthiness that pairs well with savory flavors. Turning butternut squash into soup produces a warming, comforting meal as seasons cool. Many cooks skip roasting the squash to save time, but roasting is essential. Roasting softens the flesh, making it easier to puree and protecting blenders from damage. Roasting also concentrates natural flavors and promotes caramelization, which enhances sweetness and creates a rich, savory-sweet profile. Skipping the roasting step risks a less flavorful, less smooth soup and potential equipment strain.
