Sausage, Spinach and Butternut Squash Soup

“Enjoy Life It’s Delicious” I have been so busy at work I find myself exhausted every night with very little desire to do anything outside the necessary. I sometimes find it challenging to have a demanding full time job, juggling everything I love to do for my family and finding time for my favorite space on the internet. And that is why you’ll actually discover that this post is up on Saturday which is completely outside my blogging schedule. There is something very comforting and satisfying about creating a recipe from simple and seasonal ingredients, especially when that recipe is a large pot of soup. In the past I have served butternut squash mostly as a side dish and only recently became adventurous with it. What I love most about this version is how satisfying and flavorful it is. This time of the year farmers markets are filled with a variety of winter squashes. Gorgeous warm hues and bright colors stand out amongst other vegetables and it’s hard to pass them by. I especially love it because the beautiful fall flowers, pumpkins and decorations remind me that my favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, is just around the corner. That’s one holiday that gives me the warm and fuzzes. This fiber rich soup is a sure way to satisfy even the picky non butternut squash eaters. It’s packed with tons of flavor and will please everyone. I could eat the entire pot myself. Butternut squash is a great soup vegetable. It’s healthy, loaded with vitamins and holds up well. It comes together in just under 30 minutes and makes for a fantastic lunch the following day.
Enjoy your weekend friends.
