Roasted Butternut Squash and Sage Soup - Roasted winter squash is blended with fresh sage for a smooth, elegant smooth lightened up with Greek yogurt!

I couldn’t help but choose Brianne‘s “soul warming” butternut squash soup, especially with the cold weather upon us (it finally dipped below 50 degrees here in LA!). I adapted the recipe a bit by roasting the butternut squash beforehand to really bring out its flavors but other than that, this recipe is perfect as is. It’s creamy, it’s comforting and incredibly soothing.

Is there anything better this time of year?
