Butternut Squash Soup



My husband and I enjoy eating soups. Now that we are heading into summer I am trying a way to keep my soup eating alive. My first attempt to a lighter soup was a success! :)

The soup has cream cheese in it. The next time that I make this I am going to try to add yogurt as a replacement.
