I love to make delicious soups but I especially love it in the winter time.

Do you love butternut squash?  I do but sometimes it’s hard to cut it all up when you’re in a hurry.  I found some awesome frozen butternut squash at the grocery store and it makes this soup lickity-split to throw together!

Butternut Squash Soup is the perfect recipe to keep you warm and cozy this winter 🙂
