A cold autumn day, (no matter how far away) needs some warmth sometimes which is: Butternut squash soup!

We've all had those days where the cold is just cold enough that even the tips of your fingertips need some warmth. The thing is, you can cover yourself with jackets, scarves, and mittens, but sometimes there is that inherent need for some warmth in your stomach as well- which is what this recipe is all about! Butternut squash soup always pairs well with a cold, cloudy, and crisp day.
