Comforting, creamy, and kissed with tropical warmth

There’s something magical about butternut squash soup, it’s rich, smooth, and naturally sweet.

In this article, you’ll learn how to build flavor from the bottom up, starting with aromatic onions and garlic, deepening it with roasted squash and spice, and finishing with a silky coconut rum finish.
