ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH & SWEET POTATO SOUP
Squash was something my parents cooked when I was a kid, not often--but often enough. And they usually did the butter/brown sugar thing. I thought these people were crazy! Veggie massacre! I stayed far away and happily ate my "safe and sound" corn and carrots and beans. This past winter, there was squash of all kinds on sale...
