As I'm sitting here laid up from surgery, I am craving all kinds of soup. I can't wait to get back in the kitchen and try this one. Some of my favorite flavors all in one bowl +1 for the pepitas. Nice addition.

Perfectly beautiful soup, I love the simple side garnish!

Looks delicious! Butternut is probably my favorite winter squash. It's so hearty and flavorful. Kuri is good too. We eat mostly Paleo, so this squash is a staple in our house. Thanks for the recipe!
