This is a good and healthy soup. I cut the butternut squash in half, drizzled olive oil on it, and sprinkled it with dried rosemary. Then, I roasted it at 375 deg. until it was tender. This makes it easier to peel. After cooking all the ingredients until soft, I pureed the soup with my immersion blender. Thank you for this healthy recipe.Reply
