Creamy Butternut Squash Soup
This Butternut Squash Soup recipe makes a creamy, mild soup that is perfect for a cozy fall day.
It is just about that time again. The cooler months are fast approaching and I am preparing all the seasonal changes to our kitchen that come with them. The truth is, I can’t write enough soup recipes. It seems it is a staple in most homes throughout the fall and winter months. For good reason of course. The cozy warmth a simmering pot of soup creates is hard to beat during the chilly days ahead. Coming into find a warm bowl of soup waiting is such a comfort.
This soup combines a beautiful squash with a bit of potatoes that makes it hearty enough to be a meal. I usually like to serve my soup with a fresh piece of bread. If you do too, be sure to check out my simple recipe for a no knead bread that pairs perfectly with this soup.
