I got this golden soup recipe from a friend. Sometimes I add a few slices of red pepper to change up the flavor a bit. -Pat Roberts, Thornton, Ontario

I'm not a huge fan of butternut squash, but this soup was actually really good. The carrots help to balance out the sweetness of the squash, and the soup is very creamy and flavorful.
