I have a very bold statment for you…As of right now, this is one of my favorite soups! I love Butternut Squash and this is just another way to indulge. Roasted Butternut squash is seriously a flavor that can’t be beat. I love the shallots and ginger here and you will love the texture of this soup too. You can enjoy this anytime of year but what a Fall favorite for me. Also, no need to feel bad if you eat most of this, it is good for you!
