Butternut Squash and Apple Cider Soup
I love Fall! Sweaters, football, cozy socks, coffee by the fire, and comfort food. My aunt makes a pumkin soup that is out of this world- but it also has a day's worth of fat and calories per bowl. I wanted a comforting, hot bowl of autumn... but without all the heavy sluggishness that follows. I love this soup, it's like a warm, autumn soul hug. One that acutally helps you fit in your holiday dress :)
