Everyone needs a versatile squash soup recipe in their repertoire for quick cold-weather meals and dinner parties.
This Roasted Squash Soup transitions seamlessly from weeknight meal to the first coarse of holiday dinner, and with just six ingredients it won’t add stress to your already busy schedule.
Creamy kabocha squash, sweet apples, onions, celery and fresh sage provide the sweet and savory base for this soup.
