I love everything about this time of year! I love the fashion (the scarfs, gloves and hats), I love the outdoors (the red and orange falling leaves and the snow-capped mountains), and I love all the seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs. Pumpkins, squash, yams, thyme, rosemary and sage…. Need I say more? If I could give the holidays a “taste”, a spoon of this roasted butternut squash soup would pretty much be that “taste”.
