There is nothing like Butternut soup to warm your belly on a cold autumn day. It is just so comforting and simply delicious. Butternut soup can often have dairy and can have a fairly high glycemic load.

I don’t see the recipe?
I loved this soup! Two hours after eating it and I am still FULL! Can’t wait to eat the left overs for lunch tomorrow : )
Just curious-what makes this so high in sodium? I make my own stock and it has no sodium.
