Butternut Squash Soup

This year has been the coldest since I came to Bermuda. Our temperatures have reached 12°C  or perhaps even lower. For Bermuda that is cold and it has us reaching for our warm clothes( light sweaters and jackets) and warm food. I spend my days drinking tea to keep warm.

Today has been raining and chilly and decided to make soup. Butternut squash soup. I love making this soup and eating it too. I think this is the easiest soup ever. If you can peel vegetables then you can definitely make this and without going to the shops too.
