Pumpkin Butternut Squash Soup
One thing my mom and sister love to make and eat is soup. Tomato, clam chowder, chili...they are the first ones to grab a spoon. This is a great fall recipe because the pumpkin and squash add a slight sweetness, while still maintaining a creamy, yet comforting consistency. My mom sometimes puts her own spin on this recipe and adds apple puree and sliced sausage to enhance the sweet and savory combination.
