One of my favorite things about fall is the return of comfort food. Give me a warm bowl of soup or one-pot pasta recipe over a refreshing salad any day.

This creamy butternut squash soup recipe has the taste of your favorite comfort food without the calories and guilt that typically come with comfort food. And as an added bonus, it’s full of protein and topped with crunchy pepitas.

This easy butternut squash soup is like a healthy comfort food! Take some roasted butternut squash, mix it with broth in your Vitamix or other blender, and finish it off with some spicy pepitas. It’s creamy, dairy free, and one of the best butternut squash recipes I’ve tried!

It still doesn’t feel like fall here in Texas yet. I keep waiting for it and then mother nature decides that it’s going to be 95 degrees again. Apparently fall happens, it just happens when the rest of the country is celebrating winter.

Fall weather may be the only thing I miss about living in DC, but I sure miss my four seasons. So I’m moving forward with all of my fall traditions anyway.

One of those traditions is enjoying all of the fall flavors from apples to pumpkin and of course, squash. Butternut squash is super sweet naturally, perfect for this girl who’s not eating sugar this month and still craving something sweet.

Now let’s talk about the finisher – the spiced pepitas on top. If you’ve never had pepitas before, they’re shelled pumpkin seeds, and they’re delicious.

They’re even better when you roast them with a few spices and a little sugar or honey. And they add a great crunch to this otherwise smooth and velvety soup.

You know what would be even better? This soup served in one of these bread bowls!
