Butternut Squash Soup

[Kahana-ri]

I just made butternut squash soup tonight and loved it. I have never made soup before, but the recipe sounded so easy and 'fallish.' Its a simple Kraft recipe. I love soup during the cold weather.

That sounds good! Thanks for posting. I had the greatest butternut squash soup last year at a BOCES parent visitation day. PTA representatives from all the schools in our area went to see a few presentations and then we were served lunch by the culinary students. It was a really great meal, but the soup was the best. The gave out the recipe, but ran out of copies, and I before I left I forgot to ask for one as they said they were making more copies. The head chef told us that they altered the recipe by adding half pumpkin and half squash, so I might try that with this recipe.
