Roasted Butternut Squash & Red Pepper Soup is a creamy flavorful soup that's great for lunch or dinner. Vegetarian and Gluten Free.
I guess you could say winter is officially here. The kind of day you just find yourself wanting to sit in front of a good movie on your living room couch with a hot bowl of soup.
Soup has been my thing over the past week or so. It's just something I can make a variety of different ways and not get bored with it. So I've been experimenting again. Look OUT!
This time with Butternut squash and roasted red peppers. It turned out really good though, so I knew I needed to share this one soon.
Butternut Squash roasted just makes such a flavorful soup and combine that with the red peppers and it truly is one of my favorite combinations for soup.
You can also eat this cold and it's really tasty...Believe me I've tried it.
It's also really colorful and kind of has the Fallish look going on. So when you start bringing out all the Pumpkin Spice everything make sure to include this on the menu.
