HEARTY AND QUICK BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP
Creamy, thick, hearty and delicious. I was skeptical about whether my family would like this, but I needed a hearty meal in a hurry and we had an unexpected guest. I had left over roasted butternut squash and had just read some squash soup recipes in a magazine. All of their recipes sounded too sweet for my taste, and I didn't have a lot of the ingredients, so I made up my own. Everyone, even my meat-and-potatoes husband loved it. I knew it was a hit when my son suggested that maybe I should write this one down!
