Hearty Butternut Soup
From Republican Valley Produce
<p>Hearty Butternut Soup</p> <p>Thank you to Linda for this post!</p> <p>With a few hundred pounds of squash in our basement, we have tried many variations of butternut soup, many of which got poured down the drain. The taste just wasn’t there or the texture was icky, to use the girls’ words. Today, I finally found a variation we all liked.</p>Source: Courtesy of Linda Sleichter (Entered by Jay Sleichter)
