Roasted Garlic & Butternut Squash Soup

[LovinLDL]

Bumping this soup to the top to declare SOUP SEASON officially started!  I figure it is cool enough somewhere and Octoberfest is going on in our town.  I enjoy watching all of the people but not all of the beer drinking, shutting down of parks and such.  My tradition for the weekend will be kicking off Soup Season with this soup:-)

If you haven't tried it....do!  Also, Costco is selling pre-peeled and cut up butternut squash.  Mmmmm, mine is roasting right now!

Blessings & Thanks Again, Mary,

I have made two double  batches.  I had eight  friends in for a retirement party.  I served it, and it was the first time any had tasted it.  They ate it all---just a cup in each bowl. They all said they liked it. It was the first course.  It is soup season, here.  I bought ten squash--98 cents a piece.  They keep in a cool place. My husband cut mine up for me.    JF

Wanda -- I wish I cold find it here for just 98 cents a piece!!  What a deal!  I love this soup and I love butternut squash fries.  My plants didn't produce enough squash to satisfy me!!  I'm going to make a point to grow them next year on purpose this time -- and I'll do more plants next year.

Crick, I like both of them--fries and soup.  They are easy to grow.  JF

i know this is an old thread but wanted you to know i made this today mary and it was delicious!! i loved it!! hubby aid he likes his sqaush a little more on the sweet side (this was a little too savory for him)...he added a little honey to his bowl and liked it better!! i tasted it and thought it was pretty good, too, so i might even add it to the recipe!?!

I just hit the mother-lode of butternut squash.  A friend found me a bushel (14 big ones) at the Farmers' Market for $12.00.  I'm so excited!!!  Pam
