This is a favorite flavorful fall soup made with butternut squash or any similar squash. This is made with onion, garlic, and fall spices and is full of all the flavors of Autumn in a comforting bowl. The soup can be served with a dollop of sour cream and topped with roasted pumpkin seeds. Serve it alongside any favorite sandwich or just as it is as a starter for the holidays.
