Roasted Butternut Squash Soup.

Roasted Butternut Squash Soup.

This incredible Roasted Butternut Squash Soup is easy and inexpensive to make and will become a family favourite.

Every once in a while you come across one of *those* recipes.

You know, the one you make over and over when you first discover it. You make it so often that those around you start to roll their eyes when they hear your making it again.

Yes… that one.

I have never been a big soup eater, I just prefer foods you can sink your teeth into, and soup has never fit the bill where my food cravings were concerned. Until now.

I received this recipe from a friend who lives on Singer Island down in Florida. Of course, being the good Ukrainian girl that I am, I upped the amount of onion and garlic used, otherwise, the recipe remains the same.

The aromas that fill your kitchen are just a hint of the pleasure you are about to indulge in. The creamy texture and  deep roasted flavours leave your taste buds wanting more.

Hell, it’s even good cold!
