Are you as big a fan of Butternut Squash Soup as I am?! I’ve got a new recipe up my sleeve! You may be surprised, though… this is not your average butternut squash soup! The orange ginger flavor is incredible and you have to try it now that Fall has truly set in and winter is right around the corner 🙂

With the yummy flavor combo of ginger and orange it’s no wonder this kind of soup has the reputation of being called, “smooth as butter, sweet as nut.” When you add in those extra flavors it truly adds that extra splash of yum I look for in the soups I make. This is one that my family definitely approves of and I’m pretty confident yours will too!

The best part is butternut squash is a great source of fiber, vitamin C, magnesium, potassium and vitamin A because it’s actually a fruit! Did you know this?! I had no idea. Also, talk about being jam packed full of goodness that keeps the body feeling top notch! There are so many options for what you can do with butternut squash and I highly recommend you give this soup a go because even if you don’t like squash normally, I bet this could change your mind!

As an added bonus, this can be made in your Vitamix so darn easy!  If you decide to make this, come back and let me know how it turned out for you in the comments!
