Butternut squash is easily on my list of Favorite Fall Foods. Rich and creamy, lightly sweet and perfect for roasting, toasting, pureeing, sauteeing, grating and -- well, you get the point. Perfect for soup, butternut squash pairs especially well with apples, sage and curry. Depending on your meal, each ingredient highlights a different element of the squash's natural flavor profile. Here are 5 of my favorite (gluten free!) butternut squash soup recipes to share with you and yours - perfect for those cold autumn nights.
