Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut squash soup is a fall staple at my house. I prefer to combine all of my ingredients in a one-pot wonder rather than roasting beforehand. The addition of heavy cream creates a smooth, velvety texture that warms the soul. So cozy up on a fall night with a big bowl and heavy pour.Butternut Squash Soup
