Nothing says Fall cooking like a hot and tasty bowl of homemade soup to warm up as the weather gets chilly, and when I think of the perfect Fall recipe, I think of a hot bowl of soup. But not just any soup will do, I need the quintessential Fall favorite with this Butternut Squash Soup. It’s the perfect recipe for rich and hearty flavors that make soup season so special. This soup is meant to be simple, so all you need is a big pot to start cooking.

We had to add our own Midamar spin to this classic, so we included some of our always-appreciated ground beef into the mix, along with some other veggies that help make this a deliciously fresh pot of soup. I know I say it for all our recipes, but this is one that really does it all! Butternut squash has a fair amount of natural sweetness, so the inclusion of savory ground beef with sauteed onion and red pepper adds a tasty contrast for flavor and texture in what is otherwise a nice, smooth bisque.

We shot for maximum convenience for our soup, so while you can use fresh squash, we used Sno Pac frozen squash. This meant all we needed to do was get it nice and toasty in the pot until it was tender enough to blend. Same with our corn, so this is a great recipe to throw together at the end of the day when you want a quick and tasty dinner.

What doesn’t change about our recipe, though, is how simple this recipe is to make. Like any good soup, this recipe will all be cooked and assembled in a large pot. That saves you time on dishes at the end and lets all the great flavors of each ingredient come together and make each other that much tastier. We started with the beef, onion, and pepper, then moved them to a mixing bowl when they were done, and began simmering the remaining ingredients in the pot.

The rest will simmer in the pot until nice and tender, then get blended smooth into that deliciously creamy consistency we love about a good squash or tomato soup. Top it all off with the beef and veggies from earlier with a few final seasonings, salt, and pepper to your taste, and you’re all set.

If you couldn’t tell already, I love a great soup, I especially love them this time of year, and I love them even more when they’re this simple and this tasty. This is the perfect recipe if you’re looking for something quick and convenient, but doesn’t go light on great flavor for the perfect blend of just a little sweet with plenty of savory from the beef, veggies, and seasonings. It makes plenty to feed any hungry friends and family you may have this soup season, so when you need the perfect Fall recipe, keep this one in mind. Give it a try for yourself, make it your own if you think it’s missing something, and let us know what you did to make this recipe even better and, as always, we hope you try some of our other delicious Halal recipes.
