CURRIED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Soup in the winter is top. notch. Coming home from a long day of work and heating up a bowl of soup is so happy-making.

This curried butternut squash soup is one I’ve been making for years. Minimal ingredients with maximum flavor. Often I’ll make a double batch of it in the fall and place it into a bunch of ziplock bags, then place those bags into the freezer so I can have the soup all winter long. 

It's ideal finished with crunchy bread garnishes, yogurt, and pomegranate seeds. Furthermore when combined with fluffy shoes and a warm cover. What's more, perhaps the Bachelor, however you know, that is just me
