Butternut Squash Soup for Cold Wintery Days

I was inspired by my good friend, Abi, who recently made a delicious looking loaf of bread and served it with a homemade butternut squash soup. Since it is definitely hard core winter now, nothing makes you feel better than a nice hot creamy bowl of soup.

Here is the recipe I got off the Whole Foods website. I recommend adding the heavy whipping cream to make it creamy and more enjoyable for the family who may not be used to the rich vegetable puree texture. And, if you are eating organic there are plenty of delicious homemade bread recipes to try (think Organic Whole Grain or Sprouted Sourdough recipes) Or, you can buy these already done at Whole Foods or Trader Joes or wherever else you go.

Here is the recipe from Whole Foods:
Butternut Squash Soup

I changed the following ingrediants:
3 cups already diced and prepared butternut squash from Trader Joes ($2.69)
1 Tb. dried Thyme
1 tsp. each kosher salt and ground black pepper
1/2 c. (organic) heavy whipping cream - stirred in at last 5 minutes of cooking
parmesan to taste.

Delicious! And, thanks Abi for inspiring me!!
