Submitted by Karin...

"This soup is honestly to DIE for!! Infact, I can't wait to make it again!!! And soon!! I became quite excited about it while I was typing the recipe out!!! LOL!! The nutmeg added really makes it! If making this soup in advance, leave the egg yolks and cream out until close to serving time. If freezing the soup, leave the egg yolks and cream out until thawed and heated."

This is a nice soup. I found it to be very creamy and quite tasty if it is left to cool a bit. I made it for our lunch today with the first butternut squash of the season and I really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing this recipe.
