My husband has been begging me to make this soup for him for like two years. I couldn’t remember why he loved it so much until I made it again, and realized, it is pretty dang good.
Of course, it would have been great to post this in the fall, but I just made it yesterday, so it’s not too late!
You can still make it right now. And, who doesn’t love pumpkin pretty much any time of the year?
Even though it looks a tiny bit of baby food, don’t think about that.
You’ll love this Butternut Squash and Pumpkin Soup full of spices, and it’s so silky and smooth your kids won’t reject it.
And, it’s PERFECT for dipping bread in it.
