This butternut squash soup is super simple to make, and stores great in the refrigerator for the week! The soup is vegan and gluten-free, and can be modified to your tastes. If you want to make this super simple by not peeling the butternut squash, you can cut the tops and bottoms off, remove the seeds, bake and scrape out the cooked squash. However, the taste that comes with roasting the cubes is more flavorful in my opinion.

1 small yellow onion
1 carton vegetable stock
