The taste and flavor of butternut squash is so delicate and pure that sometimes I don’t want to mix it with anything else! This soup recipe which is super easy to prepare brings out that flavor, the smoothness and delicateness of butternut squash. It’s a perfect first course for a meaty or strong second dish!
