CURRY ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

CURRY ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Here is the thing...
 
I cook when Im happy, I cook when Im sad, I cook when Im stressed, tired, and excited. It is therapeutic in the same way my workouts are for me— gets my mind off of the bad, so I can focus on the good… & the good smells dont hurt.

This soup will take away all the bad and insert all the good. It is true comfort in a bowl, a warm hug with each bite.

I knew It was an immediate “must-post” when my hubs said “Em this might be the best soup you've ever made.” Maybe he’s biased, or maybe its just that good.

See for yourself.
