I bought a butternut squash at the store and threw the seeds in my garden and the next growing season much to my surprise I had 5 large butternut squash growing.
I just made this with butternuts I grew, two apples and a can of coconut milk added. It's so good. I want to cry. I keep dropping hints to my husband about how badly I want the preppy kitchen cookbook for Christmas.
Thanks! John I made this for my friend who had oral surgery and could only do liquids for the first few days. It was the first time doing a blended soup and I was so happy about how it came out. I added two apples into the boiling squash. Somehow I made a mistake and grabbed ground cummin instead of cinnamon lol 🤷🏾♀️ but added some at the end with a little heavy whipping cream. Thankfully it is forgiving with seasoning lol. It was lovely.
I love the way you keep your videos real. You don’t edit when you don’t do something like not turn on the stove you just love cooking. Your desserts look delicious Thank you
And I like way Foodwishes presents his skill. This one so-so. I don't care about your relatives or gardens. Just give me recipe and keep it short. Don't want to see you cutting vegies for 5 minutes or cracking stupid jokes. You are not gardening channel, not comedy central, after third video your family becomes annoying and who cares
@@csenuberwow that was quite harsh!! He’s nice enough to demonstrate & give YOU the how to make it. These videos take a lot of work to do. You are cruel!! Also this video was done a year ago, hopefully by now you’ve found Jesus. He will definitely calm your harsh attitude!
@@CindyEsquivel-mw3mu Well, if you spend less time cracking jokes, cutting vegies and telling me about your relatives and family history, the video would be twice as short, so next time I am in a mood to cook, i will watch it for instructions and author gets paid time after time after time i am watching it. But if each time i have to go through his family history, i just say - fokk it! I don't have time. So who is winning? One has to make priorities: You here to teach me cook or to entertain me aka Class clown. For entertaining i go to comedy central. For cooking lessons i go to short and precise instructions. Martha Stewart format is outdated - nobody has time for it.
I made this today. I added the apples. It is delicious! Thank you John for all you do for all of us. I greatly appreciate you! Blessings to you and your family!
I'm so happy I've found you on UA-cam and don't have to watch you on TV with 50 commercials . The soup was delicious and you bring so much humor to cooking with your down to earth style, we all make mistakes just keep rolling the footage and cooking. Love it
Made this yesterday (Friday) it was absolutely delicious! And bonus my boyfriend (of 20+yrs.) loved it. This is definitely a keeper recipe. Thank you, thank you, thank you
I made the soup and oh boy probably one of the best soups I ever had. My husband loved it so much he asked why I didn't make this 40 years ago when we first met and I told him because you weren't born yet!!!!! 😄
Butternut squash soup can be fickle. But this version with the apple is genius! That sublte flavour of the apple and the thyme sent me to the moon! Absolutely delightful and perfectly constructed. I never subscribe to channels but this one definitely. Thank you chef!👌👏
Thank you for this recipe! My parents are both sick with sore throats, and I wanted to make them something that would be easy for them to swallow. I’ll be leaving a pot of this soup on their doorstep tonight!
I agree! Sadly my husband refuses to try it. I'm like, "you're missing out!! I promise it is delicious!" But he won't.give it a try because he doesn't like squash. I love it. At first I stopped making all squash after we were married because I'm the only one who eats it but now I'm like, so what! I will eat it all by myself. My advice to any parents...please don't make your kids eat everything on their plate before they can leave the dinner table. It ruined the enjoyment of food for my husband. Food should never be a punishment nor should it ever be forced upon a child. My parents made food a joyful experience and we had a garden too, which really gets kids involved in eating things they grew. My brother and I have a wide palette and love all vegetables. I feel sorry for my husband because he is picky and won't try new things. I believe it is because of his bad experiences with food as a child.
@@mygirldarby Re Your picky hubby. There are foods that I smell and am completely turned off by them. It may be an individual chemistry thing, over which we have little control. Example: Italian parsley smells and tastes like soap to me. This happens to other people, too. Or, as you mention about kids and food, forced eating can be a type of trauma. Once an adult, with autonomy, ‘no’ is a power word. LOL!
Great recipe! I didn't have an apple so I used apple cider. I prefer the immersion blender, you don't have to wait for the soup to cool, you can blend it in the pot, and no extra dishes :)
I ordered your book and got it yesterday. My daughter and I are going to make every single recipe. We’re doing it just like the movie Julie and Julia, except we’re making one every weekend. Super excited not only to eat, but to bond with my baby.
I have actually had butternut squash soup, but it is very rich and needs some sort of starchy bread type thing to balance it out. When we had it they made us a cheese scone and it was phenomenal!
John, THANK YOU for this prize winning recipe!! I have made butternut squash soup before, but not like this. THIS was outstanding! I will never make it any other way again. P.S. - For those reading my comment, try it with the coconut milk. Wow!
I bought my butternut squash and ready to make the soup tomorrow. I made potato leek soup today. It’s a chilly rainy day and I’m feeling under the weather. Soup makes me feel warm inside and out. ❤
No precut squash in my home garden... but the prep is worth it! I a soupaholic, too, and love hearing your boys like to help their Nana by picking fresh veggies and herbs. Creating wonderful memories fot them.
This recipe will go so well with the Buttercup that we just picked. It’s a little sweeter & dryer (drier?) than Butternut, but your balance of ingredients sounds perfect. We’ll garnish with a pat of butter and toasted pumpkin seeds. Thanks again for your lovely palate.
I always bake my squash whole, for about an hour (or more depending on size) at 400 degrees, then it is soft and easy to de-seed and the squash just scoops right out of the peeling. Easy!
I just made it and it's delicious! I also added two apples and a 1/2 tsp of Chili powder. SO good! I also enjoyed listening to your stories and simply seeing your personality through this video. It feels like cooking together with a good friend :) Thank you!
We love butternut squash soup in our house! Our favorite recipe is flavored with apple (or pear) and thyme, and definitely includes a little heavy cream. We like to garnish with fresh chives, chopped walnuts, and blue cheese crumble. Sometimes we broil a steak and include medium rare strips in the soup. So hearty and satisfying on a cold day!
I try to go as easy as I can on the cream just because I want to taste all the vegetables and sometimes cream covers up the taste. This recipe is really just so simple.
I have zero upper body strength so I’m not able to slice up a raw butternut squash so I throw it in some boiling water for a while which makes it easier to peel the skin and also to slice. One of my favorite soups!! So good. I add savory spices to mine (including curry powder) since I don’t like my butternut squash soup sweet.
Lovely soup, Thank you for providing simple ingredients, I was always nervous about making it. But I made it today and it tastes so good. it's so perfect for a rainy day.
I’m going to use the Hokkaido squash from my garden and also sour cream from cashews. I used this sour cream in few others recipes. Thank you and have a blessing day.
Me too. When I see a recipe is 28 or 35 mins long I skip it. I don't need to see a trip to the grocery,, or to hear you scolding your kids or screaming for someone to take the dog. Yikes. I just need a good recipe. John delivers.
Man John is my favorite person and recipe creator. He is adorable and so insanely talented! His husband and kids are so lucky to have him ❤ thank you John for being you and sharing all your amazing recipes for us!
Very good, but roasting cubed butternut squash tossed with olive or avocado oil first takes the soup to a whole new level. Next time I make it, I'm going to add cinnamon and nutmeg. Sounds like a yummy addition! 😋
It's true...I used to live by a squash farm in college and survived off that stuff. By the time I graduated I could no longer eat it but my mother started asking me, "could you make your father and I some squash soup? I just can't make it as good as you." I tried to teach her but she said the roasting was "unnecessary; just throw it in the microwave." Now I just sigh... Lol. But ---a couple more secrets! I like to cut the squash in 2-4 big, flat pieces with skin on and after scooping out the seeds i rub the insides with sea salt, Evoo, crushed garlic, black pepper, and a tiny pinch of nutmeg; I roast it until the garlic and the edges of the squash begin to carmelize. Then, before I start making it into soup, I make a separate small pot of simple, homemade cinnamon-applesauce to add some extra sweetness. I only use 1-2 apples for this. I peel and cut them into smaller pieces and cover them with water, bring it to a simmer and cook it down until the sugars start breaking down. Once it turns a golden color, I add a dash of cinnamon and cook it for another couple minutes. Finally, I make the soup---either with homemade or low sodium organic chicken stock and at the very end I stir in a small splash of real cream. While my Squash-Thief days are over, I promise this will be the best soup of your life! (Plus, your kitchen will smell lovely...)
You are so funny. I love watching your videos. I literally laughed out loud at least 5X watching this. Love your personality! Oh, and I can't wait to try this Butternut Squash Soup soon!! 🤩 Never change who you are!
3 pound butternut squash makes into cubes One onion diced Olive oil in pan 8 slices pf garlic Cubed 3 apples 1/2 cinnamon 1/8-1/4 nutmeg 1/2 salt and pepper -Brown onion in pan on high heat Throw in garlic and lower heat stirring Add 1/2 cinnamon 1/8 nutmeg then stir Add squash and combine 1/2 teas spoon of salt and pepper Add 3-4 of chicken broth Simmer 30-40 minutes until soft 1/2 cup of heavy cream Blend Serve with a sprinkle of cinnamon thyme and pepper Chili powder? Curry? Chili peppers?
Roasted my squash first (because I had lasagne in the oven). The nutmeg made such a difference and I added a few chilli seeds. Too good with crusty bread and a bit of feta. Thank you for the recipe.
My family's recipe is almost identical. The only difference is that, sometimes, we add a little maple syrup to caramelize the onions and squash before adding 2 or 3 apples then the broth. It's a nice twist to a classic.
It was the first time ever that I made this soup, I have always loved eating it in restaurants but loved your video and decided it make it myself. Your instructions are so non complicated!! My family loved the taste. Thank you!
Just made this for lunch. The coconut milk a delicious choice! "I love coconut everything, too! I made it slightly chunky and used a few small sweet potatoes from our garden. Heading for the lazyboy. After 3 bowls, I need a nap.
I never knew how to make soup before as I only make Indian recipes. This was the first soup I tried. Oh my! This was not only easy but super super delicious! Felt like it was from a 5 star kitchen! Added one apple to the squash soup. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Butternut squash soup is decadent, delicious & soul satisfying. Personally I like my soups to spoon with a broth like consistency. When the blended butternut squash holds dips & peaks it reminds me more of a dip like hummus… (also good)
John-YOU are adorable! I love watching your videos. I learn so much and I try out a lot of your recipes. I love soups a lot, too! I am gonna make this for next weeks game night!
I decided to try making butternut squash soup. Your video popped up first. I was a little nervous but followed your steps . Thank you John!! ❤ It came out delicious. Note*** I happen to love olives and blended them with the squash. I love the flavor. My wife is going to love it.
I just watched your video yesterday and tried the soup today. Oh my goodness it was like a creamy taste of fall in a bowl. My family is raving about it! Was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you- going to dig thru your recipes for more delicious gems (previously made your pumpkin muffins with a little pinch of cloves tossed in was delicious too) Kudos!
What great timing! I was just given butternut squash and was trying to find a recipe. First search result was yours! Going to give this a try tonight. Thank you for sharing!
When I make mine I use oregano tyme chopped up cilantro and vegetable seasoning and some garlic when I have the puree mixture part of it I had and some heavy cream and the most loved ingredient of them all for me, nutritional yeast. Oh my God it makes it taste amazing. I also add chunks of butternut squash, so apart from being puree you will find chunks of butternut squash in my soup it actually makes it feel more filling and heartier. Mine version is a slightly more runnier but not too much then the one you made
Love your video! But the whole time i was thinking “careful with that knife!!” I was in mom mode. I will be making this lovely soup tomorrow, with the coconut milk and apples. Thank you, it’s a true joy to hear and watch your recipes. Take care and be happy! 🩵
I had soup like this in a restaurant…they put large shrimp in it. Maybe a half a dozen or so large shrimp. It was AHHMAZING! Can y’all say divine!?! Yum. ~Sharon from Florida
wonderful. close to a native american recipe i made a while ago. i kept making predictions that came true. i was waiting for ginger to get in there, but the curry suggestion was a close second. roasted red pepper is another great idea. whenever i make soup with potatoes i just roast them separately and add later. (after the blending for sure!) i would also garnish with roasted pecan, almond, or i guess for wisconsin (where i am) walnut would be seasonally appropriate. great simple base on its own, but the embellishing suggestion is so so true. i watch these with my daughters aaall the time. we love your style and technique. just made your pumpkin whoopie pies (with a bit of dark cocoa added to the frosting) and they were a-MAZING.
Love butternut squash. Some times I roast the vegetables and sometimes boil them. And I use a stick blender because for me it’s easier. And I love how creamy the soup is without adding any milk.
@@chelseacco6 roasting is one method and boiling another. If you want to try a roasted butternut squash soup search online for a recipe. Generally cut squash in half and roast at 425 for 40 minutes.
I don't scrape out the seeds with a spoon. You're going cut it all into cubes so cut the seed part in half again and use a knife to cut just under the membrane. Soooo much easier.
It is always a surprise the first time you eat butternut squash soup. Your thinking squash, I don't know...but when you taste it, oh so yumming. I got the same reaction from my grandson's friend.
Make sure he isnt drinking any caffeinated beverages. You would be surprised how many, besides coffee, have caffeine - even some water that has "nutrition". I had a heart attack from poisoned water - the landlord, a group of attorneys, poisoned my water with lead here in Connecticut. The more corrupted you are here, the more successful you are....I was on atenylol for quite some time. Your heart is never the same after a heart attack. Your husband is lucky to have you. Ask the doctor exactly what his heart is doing after 6months-1year. So you know. I have mitral valve regurgitation. It explains certain times when my heart flutters like crazy and I do what I can to stop that Always have baby aspirin handy. Have a blood pressure machine - sometimes they are available at GoidWill or Savers even. Or a garage sale. Just compare it with the doctor's to make sure it functions properly. That way you can monitor his blood pressure at home. Knowing both rates too; one may be okay, but the other may be off.
Amazing thankyou so much, my mom never taught me how to cook so finding your video helped alot as a reference point. And im glad to say that I just made this today, it took about 30 minutes from start to finish with my instant pot, with a few tweaks here and there this soup will be perfect for this fall and winter.
Awesome recipe, we love this, especially with coconut milk. One thing I do recommend though, is getting the Vitamix immersion blender. Just as creamy as the container blender, but no risk of burns, and way easier with less cleanup.
I bought a butternut squash at the store and threw the seeds in my garden and the next growing season much to my surprise I had 5 large butternut squash growing.
That is tuuucool!
Wow..I can imagine it
Gardening surprises are fantastic 😊

I'm intrigued with the apples thing - have plenty still on the trees.
😂❤❤❤ thank you! I was doubting how to use the apple, i will peel it and add it. 😅❤
Thanks! John I made this for my friend who had oral surgery and could only do liquids for the first few days. It was the first time doing a blended soup and I was so happy about how it came out.

Once you taste butternut squash soup, you're hooked. It's so delicious, and this recipe kicks it up a notch. Yum, yum!!

This is so good for trying butternut squash 1st time I am in love with this soup
I just finished making this potage, had a hearty bowl and I must admit it's a keeper. Very very good.
Very good, but roasting cubed butternut squash tossed with olive or avocado oil first takes the soup to a whole new level. Next time I make it, I'm going to add cinnamon and nutmeg. Sounds like a yummy addition! 😋
It's true...I used to live by a squash farm in college and survived off that stuff. By the time I graduated I could no longer eat it but my mother started asking me, "could you make your father and I some squash soup? I just can't make it as good as you." I tried to teach her but she said the roasting was "unnecessary; just throw it in the microwave." Now I just sigh... Lol.
But ---a couple more secrets! I like to cut the squash in 2-4 big, flat pieces with skin on and after scooping out the seeds i rub the insides with sea salt, Evoo, crushed garlic, black pepper, and a tiny pinch of nutmeg; I roast it until the garlic and the edges of the squash begin to carmelize.
Then, before I start making it into soup, I make a separate small pot of simple, homemade cinnamon-applesauce to add some extra sweetness. I only use 1-2 apples for this. I peel and cut them into smaller pieces and cover them with water, bring it to a simmer and cook it down until the sugars start breaking down. Once it turns a golden color, I add a dash of cinnamon and cook it for another couple minutes.
Finally, I make the soup---either with homemade or low sodium organic chicken stock and at the very end I stir in a small splash of real cream.
While my Squash-Thief days are over, I promise this will be the best soup of your life!
(Plus, your kitchen will smell lovely...)
Agreed I roast my butternut squash. Onions & garlicw/ fresh thyme & rosemary
Ughh I made it today and forgot the nutmeg . nutmeg is awesome on my Mediterranean rice as well.
Ohhh that sounds amazing

I made this last year and canned it and oh my it taste even better after sitting .

I made this just now. This is awesome. It was my first time making butternut squash. Loving it. Thank you so much ❤❤❤❤❤
Just made this for lunch. The coconut milk a delicious choice! "I love coconut everything, too! I made it slightly chunky and used a few small sweet potatoes from our garden. Heading for the lazyboy. After 3 bowls, I need a nap.
When I'm having a bad day I come to this channel and get a dose of *instant happy* 💜 going to make this tonight!
This man is a cheerful spud. Many people look at chefs because they like the anecdotes. Praise God from whom all things come.
I made Butternut Squash Soup Yesterday, I Add Ginger On Mine Just Delicious!!!!
I never knew how to make soup before as I only make Indian recipes. This was the first soup I tried. Oh my! This was not only easy but super super delicious! Felt like it was from a 5 star kitchen! Added one apple to the squash soup. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Ok, I’m making this right now. The house smells amazing. I added curry and apple as you suggested.
I make the butternut squash soup with onion and garlic. I add whipping cream and roasted pumpkin seeds. I will try this version as well.
I'm really looking forward to make this today because I love butternut squash.thanks for sharing.
Butternut squash soup is decadent, delicious & soul satisfying.
Personally I like my soups to spoon with a broth like consistency.
When the blended butternut squash holds dips & peaks it reminds me more of a dip like hummus… (also good)
I made this 3 or 4 times already. My boyfriend loves this soup so much!
Man i cant get enough of butternut soup.
made this recipe with delicata squash instead, added half an apple too. came out amazing.
John-YOU are adorable! I love watching your videos. I learn so much and I try out a lot of your recipes. I love soups a lot, too! I am gonna make this for next weeks game night!
Awesome Mike McDaniel cooking show!!! He's more than a coach. All kidding aside great recipes you create
I decided to try making butternut squash soup. Your video popped up first.
I was a little nervous but followed your steps . Thank you John!! ❤ It came out delicious.
Note*** I happen to love olives and blended them with the squash. I love the flavor. My wife is going to love it.
I just watched your video yesterday and tried the soup today. Oh my goodness it was like a creamy taste of fall in a bowl. My family is raving about it! Was not expecting to enjoy it as much as I did. Thank you- going to dig thru your recipes for more delicious gems (previously made your pumpkin muffins with a little pinch of cloves tossed in was delicious too)
Kudos!
thanks john. great recipe. i like the cinnamon and nutmeg onion part at the start!!
Love your channel and your personality! Much love from the Chicago land area.
What great timing! I was just given butternut squash and was trying to find a recipe. First search result was yours! Going to give this a try tonight. Thank you for sharing!
When I make mine I use oregano tyme chopped up cilantro and vegetable seasoning and some garlic when I have the puree mixture part of it I had and some heavy cream and the most loved ingredient of them all for me, nutritional yeast. Oh my God it makes it taste amazing. I also add chunks of butternut squash, so apart from being puree you will find chunks of butternut squash in my soup it actually makes it feel more filling and heartier. Mine version is a slightly more runnier but not too much then the one you made
I just bought a squash and went on my phone to look for a recipe.😮
❤ Thank you!
Perfect timing Penny!😀
Love your video! But the whole time i was thinking “careful with that knife!!” I was in mom mode. I will be making this lovely soup tomorrow, with the coconut milk and apples. Thank you, it’s a true joy to hear and watch your recipes.
Take care and be happy! 🩵
I had soup like this in a restaurant…they put large shrimp in it. Maybe a half a dozen or so large shrimp. It was AHHMAZING! Can y’all say divine!?! Yum. ~Sharon from Florida
That's like lobster bisque. Heavenly. Love cream of tom..
It looks so good. I love butternut squash even just cooking eating. But as a soup it takes it to another level thank you John. 😉
wonderful. close to a native american recipe i made a while ago.
i kept making predictions that came true. i was waiting for ginger to get in there, but the curry suggestion was a close second.
roasted red pepper is another great idea.
whenever i make soup with potatoes i just roast them separately and add later. (after the blending for sure!)
i would also garnish with roasted pecan, almond, or i guess for wisconsin (where i am) walnut would be seasonally appropriate.
great simple base on its own, but the embellishing suggestion is so so true.
i watch these with my daughters aaall the time. we love your style and technique.
just made your pumpkin whoopie pies (with a bit of dark cocoa added to the frosting) and they were a-MAZING.
I made this last night. It was so delicious! I'll definitely be making this one again.
Love butternut squash. Some times I roast the vegetables and sometimes boil them. And I use a stick blender because for me it’s easier. And I love how creamy the soup is without adding any milk.
I was thinking of roasting and boiling for the depth of flavor-how does roasting first compare, and what time and temp do you roast/boil?
@@chelseacco6 roasting is one method and boiling another. If you want to try a roasted butternut squash soup search online for a recipe. Generally cut squash in half and roast at 425 for 40 minutes.
@@rettaconnelly3913 I see, thank you! Do you prefer one flavor profile over another?
a certified fall classic right here! looks delicious as always!
I made this soup today and it tasted amazing!!! So rich and creamy. Thank you for sharing the recipe ❤
I don't scrape out the seeds with a spoon. You're going cut it all into cubes so cut the seed part in half again and use a knife to cut just under the membrane. Soooo much easier.
It is always a surprise the first time you eat butternut squash soup. Your thinking squash, I don't know...but when you taste it, oh so yumming. I got the same reaction from my grandson's friend.
Thank you 😊 My husband had a heart attack, was searching for recipes n this popped up..made it and it's delicious..
Make sure he isnt drinking any caffeinated beverages. You would be surprised how many, besides coffee, have caffeine - even some water that has "nutrition". I had a heart attack from poisoned water - the landlord, a group of attorneys, poisoned my water with lead here in Connecticut. The more corrupted you are here, the more successful you are....I was on atenylol for quite some time. Your heart is never the same after a heart attack. Your husband is lucky to have you. Ask the doctor exactly what his heart is doing after 6months-1year. So you know. I have mitral valve regurgitation. It explains certain times when my heart flutters like crazy and I do what I can to stop that Always have baby aspirin handy. Have a blood pressure machine - sometimes they are available at GoidWill or Savers even. Or a garage sale. Just compare it with the doctor's to make sure it functions properly. That way you can monitor his blood pressure at home. Knowing both rates too; one may be okay, but the other may be off.
Praying for your husband to be fully healed 🙏
Not to sound insensitive, but what’s the correlation? Is this soup good for the heart?
Check the herb name " Mya " I think you can order online as a tea. It's supposed to be good for the heart then pray to Jesus for healing
@@Sovonnieshe probably means she’s trying to get him to eat healthier
cool! this is one plant I can grow successfully. I got a bunch harvested the other day. saludos desde Costa Rica :)
Keeps so well.
Amazing thankyou so much, my mom never taught me how to cook so finding your video helped alot as a reference point. And im glad to say that I just made this today, it took about 30 minutes from start to finish with my instant pot, with a few tweaks here and there this soup will be perfect for this fall and winter.
Tomorrow i have a practical at school this has rilly helped me alot
I know I can count on this wonderful channel for great ideas
John, I looove your dutch oven, what a lovely color
Awesome recipe, we love this, especially with coconut milk. One thing I do recommend though, is getting the Vitamix immersion blender. Just as creamy as the container blender, but no risk of burns, and way easier with less cleanup.
@LBBTX how much coconut milk? I used a whole can but I have roughly 3X the squash.Thanks for the suggestion.
Your channel is my favorite!!!!
I ALSO like everything coconut! Thanks for a great video and tasty recipe.
I dint know that a a fresh from the garden onion does not cause tears! Another reason to grow my own! :)
