  1. I have wanted to love butternut squash soup for as long as I can remember, because I have loved the squash for as long, but I haven’t EVER tasted one I even liked. That is, until I tasetd this recipe. It is amazing. I don’t own a regular sized food processor (just a tiny one) so I used a blender and it worked great, as long as I added some broth first, then some of the squash and blenderized it a few scoops at a time. Awesome soup. Finally a recipe I love. Thanks, my Mindy. Mom (in-law)
