I know that butternut squash is a perfect "Fall" soup, but with this cold winter in Michigan, a bowl of this hot soup is SO delicious, I just had to pass on the recipe. Amber and I spent a business weekend this fall in a cute little town up north, and we both ordered butternut squash soup for lunch, and it was so amazing. When I got home, I found this yummy recipe to make for my family. I hope you love it too.

We all love making soups for our family during the winter months. When you're done making this recipe, you can always roast some pumpkin seeds and sprinkle them on your soup. They're a great little crunch. Let us know what you think. Are you sipping on some soup during this midwest arctic blast? Let us know how you are staying cozy!
