Butternut Squash Soup
This is it! My favorite time of the year. I love fall and everything about it. The weather is turning cooler, the leaves are changing color and it's time to start thinking about heartier meals. It also means I can spend time in the kitchen without being so hot I could cry....heat and I don't mix well and this delicious and creamy butternut squash soup is the perfect way to kick off soup season.
It's easy to make and bursting with flavor. Plus, this creamy bisque is packed with nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. Give it a try today. You won't be disappointed!
Soup is one of my favorite meals and while the family and I love lighter soups that are broth-based sometimes it's nice to change things up a bit and serve a nice cream-based bisque.
This is easy to make and perfect for both family meals and the holidays and has a slightly sweet, slightly nutty taste.
I think this would be great to serve on Thanksgiving or Christmas don't you?
To make this a complete meal serve it with some fresh slightly crusty rolls, whipped butter and a salad.
