Roasted ​Butternut Squash Soup

I have been making butternut squash soup for a couple of years, but I admit I always dread cutting up the darn squash. I have my method, but it does take effort even if you roast it whole to soften up the skin.

I have been making Ina Garten’s recipe with apples and onions roasted with the butternut squash. She adds a kick of curry to give it some heat as you puree the vegetables into a lovely soup. But just my luck this soup is a favorite with the kids who decided to challenge me to make a version like one served in a local restaurant. It is certainly sweeter and creamier, so I am off to do some research. I will win!
