ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH CREAM SOUP WITH GINGER
This is our favorite butternut squash soup and the whole family loves it. I usually make a huge pot of soup and freeze parts of it before adding the cream. I like my soup thick, so I don't add a ton of vegetable broth, but feel free to thin it out with more broth.
