A Roasted Butternut Squash Soup Recipe (photograph)  










Serve as a First Course entree at 
a gourmet dinner party is a great idea...  the roasted flavors are wonderful. 
It is a fun and unique idea to delight your guests by drawing their initials on top the soup.  
This is also my favorite choice for a Thanksgiving menu.  
Throughout the year I also like to serve this for a light supper with a crispy loaf of French bread and butter, 
a freshly tossed green salad and a light ice cream dessert on our patio.  
This is so creamy, delicious and hearty.
