It’s October and it’s raining. Fall is here – I get it! These cold dark days have me craving warm soup on the couch with a good book. I make soup a couple times a week in the winter and eat leftovers for lunch or freeze them for future meals. I just love how soup warms you from the inside! I made this butternut squash soup for dinner tonight and it was light yet nourishing – exactly what my soul was craving! I had 3 bowls 😉 If you’re looking for a new soup recipe, look no further!
