Notes
To save time, we buy a bag of shredded carrots. We usually add them all into the soup just to save on the leftovers, but the butternut squash flavor is stronger with fewer carrots.
Immersion blenders are a fun kitchen tool that comes in handy when trying to get kids to eat more veggies. You can use it to puree spaghetti sauce, chili, soups etc, blending vegetables into sauces seamless.
Using coconut milk keeps this recipe dairy-free.
Not a fan of coconut milk? Try evaporated milk or 2% milk instead.
