We love butternut squash here at Good Housekeeping and we can't resist a velvety smooth and warming bowl of butternut squash soup when the weather turns cold.

We love them so much that we've rounded up our favourite recipes in this gallery so when the soup cravings hit, you can take your pick from our delicious options.

We particularly love serving the squash soup shots with bacon soldiers at a dinner party as they are really unique and get the conversations rolling.
