For a vegan version, substitute the butter with olive oil or coconut oil, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and replace the half-and-half with coconut milk. Omit the sour cream garnish or use a vegan alternative. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference for spiciness. To enhance the flavor, try roasting the butternut squash before adding it to the soup. Toss the cubed squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper and roast at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized. Soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage. If the soup is too thick, add a little more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
