I used half of a butternut squash to make a creamy pasta sauce for Cooper, which by the way, I urge you to try as it's yummy. The other half of the squash I used to make this easy soup.
I teamed up the roasted squash with sage for an earthy flavour and then added some zing with a swirl of lemony herb dressing.
The combination was outstanding. I don't think the soup would have been half as good without that contrast. It really turned the soup into something special.
