What You Should Know

You'd find this 24-ounce Aromatic Butternut Squash Soup in Whole Foods' refrigerated prepared foods case — an easy grab-and-go for a busy lunch or a cozy night in. It feels comforting and slightly indulgent (creamy, buttery), evoking autumnal or nostalgic homemade soups. The smooth texture and stable consistency come from blending and a starch/thickener and pasteurized dairy rather than industrial additives, which points to conventional processing of whole ingredients rather than heavy ultraprocessing.
