The ingredients for bacon parmesan butternut squash soup can vary depending on the recipe, but typically it includes butternut squash, diced onion, bacon, garlic, chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and various herbs and seasonings such as thyme, salt, and pepper.

What is in roasted butternut squash soup?
Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is a delicious and nutritious autumn soup that is simple to make. To begin, you’ll need to gather butternut squash, garlic cloves, olive oil, butter and a yellow onion. Peel the butternut squash and cut it into cubes, then place them in a bowl with two minced garlic cloves. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the squash cubes, combine all ingredients together until evenly distributed. Spread them onto a baking sheet and roast in the oven at 375°F for 20 minutes or until they are tender.
Once your squash is roasted it’s time to prepare your soup. In a large pot melt butter and add one chopped yellow onion and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes or until translucent. Add your cubed roasted butternut squash as well as any remaining juices from the roasting dish and stir everything together. Cover with 4 cups of vegetable broth and bring everything to a boil before reducing heat to low, cover your lid and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until everything is soft throughout. Once done, you can use an immersion blender to purée all of your ingredients together until smooth or leave it chunky if desired. Serve warm with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and pepper to taste.

Making roasted butternut squash soup
Making roasted butternut squash soup is not only an easy, flavorful dish but also a healthy one. To make it even healthier, I recommend choosing organic produce when possible. The first step in preparing the soup is to roast the squash. Preheat your oven to 375F degrees and then cut the squash into cubes and arrange them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then roast for 25 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Next comes making the puree for your soup. I find that using a blender gives a much smoother result than using an immersion blender; however if you prefer to use the latter you can go ahead. Pour in the roasted squash and some broth or stock, then blend them together until everything is smooth. Adjust the amount of liquid depending on your desired thickness of consistency (the more broth you add, the thinner the soup). Finally season to taste with salt, pepper and other spices such as nutmeg, rosemary, thyme etc., according to preference.
