Have you all had the autumn soup at Panera? It’s my fave!! I try to have it as much as I can before it goes out of season. If you haven’t had it you are in for a treat. I decided it was time to try my hand at making a copycat version of that soup. I think I got PRETTY close!! I of course added my own ingredients and twists, but it turned out delicious and creamy. It is perfect to make for thanksgiving app, easy to serve since its made in the IP. You literally just throw everything in the IP and let it do it’s thang. You can use the “keep warm” setting to serve it hot when guests or family arrive. This soup feels like fall in a bowl, all the spices work so well with each other. And it is SOO creamy without adding any cream to it. I don’t know about you but that’s a win in my books!🙌🏽
To minimize the work buy precut butternut squash, also because I can’t cut butternut squash for the life of me. So if you are like me and afraid to cut the squash Trader Joe’s has pre cut squash at a good price!
Hope this soup keeps your bellies warm this winter. If you make this let me know what you think and tag me @zheelicious.
Stay happy, stay hungry!
