For comfort in a cup ladle up some Butternut squash soup. This is a Fall favorite that I use time and time again.
This thick, rich soup packs the nutrition, is simple and quick to make, and is an instant hit at my house. Feel free to throw in any extra left over vegetables you have in the fridge and for variety try adding a can of coconut milk. This will give this soup a nice flavor and creamy texture. Enjoy!
