It’s soup season!
The colder months are here. How do you keep yourself warm? There are obviously plenty of ways – warm sweaters, cozy blankets, sitting around the fireplace or bonfires, right? What is one sure fire way to stay cozy during these colder nights? That’s right! Making a deliciously, warm pot of soup!
There is nothing like curling up with a hot bowl of brothy goodness, whether it is chicken, pumpkins, squash, or veggies, it just tastes oh so good.
Soup is the easiest thing to cook with only a handful of ingredients. Agreed there are so many different ways to make them, so many different ingredients to use.
For this week’s blog, I thought I’d share a hearty soup recipe made with butternut squash! 🙂
