Butternut Squash Soup

When I went home to Indiana this weekend, the weather at night was starting to
get cool. It reminded me of my favorite fall recipe, Butternut Squash Soup. It is so easy to make and so delicious! It definitely ranks up there with one of my favorite comfort foods.

Every time I make it, I recall a funny story of my friend trying to make it one night, but we won't embarrass her, she knows who she is. But, it brings a smile to my face...and a little laugh :)

The secret about this soup, is not to make it complicated. It is your basic soup recipe with boiling the ingredients, then puree them in either a blender or food processor.

I like to serve mine with a spoonful of sour cream on top. Some people like a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh basil leaves.

Here is a picture of what butternut squash looks like in case you are unsure.



This makes a great before dinner soup for guests. Also it is a great baby food!

I would love to hear from you. Enjoy!
