Butternut Squash Stew with Andouille and Quinoa

Happy Friday, y’all! I’m so excited that we’re getting back into soup season! Sad to see Summer go, but excited for Fall recipes and the upcoming holidays! Still can’t believe that Christmas is just a few months away though. It seems like it comes around sooner and sooner each year.

Butternut squash is my favorite type of squash, so I like using it in all kinds of recipes. I just love its slightly sweet flavor in dishes like this Butternut Squash Stew with Andouille and Quinoa. The spiciness of the andouille pairs beautifully with the sweetness of the squash. If you’re a fan of sweet and savory dishes, then I think you’ll enjoy this one!

If you aren’t a fan of andouille sausage (say what?!), then smoked sausage would probably work here as well. I just personally love the spicy kick of the andouille paired with the sweet butternut squash flavor. The Teton Waters Ranch brand is, as I’ve mentioned before, my personal favorite.

The quinoa really helps to bulk this butternut squash stew up and make it incredibly hearty and filling. With the upcoming chilly months, this recipe is a great one to have in your recipe file. It will warm you right up!

*This stew will thicken up as it sits, so you’ll want to add a little more stock or water if you are re-heating leftovers. Just add a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
