The flavors of fall come together in this deliciously healthy Roasted Red Pepper and Butternut Soup…
Fall is in the air, the leaves are beginning to change and temperatures are starting to drop. This is the time of the year that you will often find me making large pots of warm and savory soups that fill the kitchen with their wonderful aroma and warm us up from the inside.
I happen to love this soup because it not only tastes great, but I feel like I’m eating healthy. All the ingredients are fresh and simple, which is often the best and I think roasted red peppers and butternut squash are perfect flavor combinations. This rich and creamy soup is also loaded with garlic, wonderful spices, and a hint of honey.
This soup is made with chicken broth, but you could certainly use vegetable broth for a vegetarian meal.
Enjoy!
