When winter calls for something warm, comforting, and genuinely nourishing, this Creamy Butternut Squash Soup answers every time. It’s rich and velvety without dairy, made in one pot, and simple enough for a last-minute weeknight meal—yet special enough to serve when you want something extra cozy.

The secret to its silky texture? Unsweetened Kiki Milk. It adds natural creaminess without overpowering the squash, while boosting the soup’s nutritional profile with plant-based fats and minerals. The result is a balanced, feel-good bowl that’s comforting, satisfying, and easy to digest.

Whether you’re curled up on a cold evening or meal-prepping something wholesome for the week ahead, this soup delivers warmth you can taste.
