Butternut Squash Soup Recipe Video

This is the fourth part of the Thanksgiving series: Butternut Squash Soup. Other videos include secrets to a moist turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce and sweet potato pie. My kids will not eat at any other relatives homes because they love my Thanksgiving meal. The only cream in this soup is drizzled on top right before serving. If you use water just to cover the squash the soup will be creamy enough. When you cook for yourself you can Save Money, Eat Healthier, Live Greener and Have Fun!
