I'm not a huge fan of squash, but this soup changed my mind. It's so creamy and delicious, and the squash flavor is very subtle.

I made this soup for a potluck and it was a huge success. Everyone loved it! I especially liked the addition of the poblano pepper, which gave the soup a nice little kick.
