Butternut Squash Soup
​I took a cue from my co-workers a few weeks ago and made a pot of butternut squash soup for the first snowy day of the season -- in October. As we start out November, consider this recipe makes for a great dinner, half-time snack, or Thanksgiving starter. We even used the leftovers as sweet and savory gravy over beef stew.

Here's what you'll need...

1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown
2 tsp cinnamon

1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 cup heavy cream
salt and pepper to taste
goat cheese
bread or croutons
​
Let's get started...

1. Wash your squash and yam thoroughly and prick with fork. Microwave on high, individually, for 2 minutes or until soft.

9. Ladle into serving bowls, top with goat cheese, and serve with bread or croutons.

​This soup is creamy and very filling. Try adding some extra stock to thin it out to your liking. I don't think I am going to make it all the way through by January 1st, but getting closer with each recipe -- soup ideas for you are #11 on my Kitchen Bucket List.
