CategoryTags, , DifficultyIntermediate

The moment I smell Fall in the air - yes that's possible, I head to the grocery store and go straight to the butternut squash and grab a few to make my favorite Fall soup. This recipe goes great with a side salad topped with grilled chicken breast or by itself with a piece of crusty bread. Either way, it'll warm you right up and get you in the Fall spirit.
