ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP INFUSED WITH CHOCOLATE
Butternut squash roasted with chocolate, chili peppers, and other goodness pureed down to a soup. Even my squash-hating sweetie enjoyed it. Garnish with chocolate chips, chocolate shavings, sourdough crostini, a drizzle of maple syrup, or even a bit of light cream.

[email protected]The soup was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it without the chocolate.

[email protected]I was a bit skeptical about the chocolate in this soup, but I'm so glad I tried it! It adds a really unique and delicious flavor. The soup is also very easy to make and it's a great way to use up leftover butternut squash.

[email protected]This soup is amazing! The combination of butternut squash and chocolate is unexpected but so delicious. I loved the creamy texture and the subtle sweetness from the chocolate. It's a perfect fall soup that's both hearty and comforting.
