Directions
Bacon-Infused Butternut Squash Soup, Good comfort soup I like to make extra bacon to crumble on top It does have a little heat to it, so if your taste buds are sensitive, cut back on the red and black peppers Recipe comes from Southern Living , Wow, so tasty! I made as directed except used coconut milk instead of cream I also added the bacon directly to the soup as I tend to forget adding toppings when reheating soups This will be a staple of ours! used all the bacon fat, because yum bacon fat LOL! I highly recommend an immersion blender It took about 3 minutes to puree the soup directly in the pot So much easier than transferring to a food processor a few ladles at a time!, I’ve tried lots of butternut squash soup recipes and they are always too heavy or too sweet This was a winner at my last Thanksgiving gathering Just right It’s very modifiable – will be trying a lighter version of this for Spring
