Butternut Squash Soup

Butternut squash is one of my most favorite foods...and then when you make it into a soup, it just makes everything better!!  I've had many different recipes with this. One I used to make was very time consuming and had lots of cream in it.  However, I discovered that you really don't need to add tons of extra calories to it to make it delicious!  Simple is delicious too!

This is super easy, healthy and delicious!

First, I'll say I take the easy way out now and buy the already cut into cubes butternut squash.  Personally I hate cutting squash.  If you're really looking to save money, buy a whole squash and cut it up!  I buy the precut at Costco and then roast the squash!
