Classic Butternut Squash Soup

For some this butternut squash soup might be too simple.  But, you can always jazz it up if you like. I am a big believer, though, that when learning to cook you should know the classic recipe BEFORE the fancy pants one.

If you would like a fancier butternut squash soup, try my Wild Rice & Squash Soup. You'll love the upgrade!
