Curried Butternut squash soup

Winter squashes are available all year long and are the perfect ingredient to create hearty, sweet, and creamy meals.

I love using butternut squash for soups, curries, and other delicious Indian-inspired dishes, but today I am presenting one of my favorite soups!

This soup is easy to make, full of diversity and fiber, and yummylicious from all the spices added.
