Description
Warm and savory, this Butternut Squash and Chestnut Soup makes a great wintertime lunch or dinner entree, especially when served with plenty of crusty bread for dipping. Simmered in port or moscato wine, the chestnuts provide a sweet nuttiness to this roasted butternut squash soup. Seasoned with sauteed onions and nutmeg, the soup is blended until smooth and creamy. Serve with bacon crumbles for a savory topping, or leave out if you want to keep this dish vegetarian and vegan friendly.
