"It's cold days in Brooklyn now. Not much snow, but really cold. And what's the perfect food for a cold day? Soup, of course. Not much is as warming and comforting as a hot home made soup. This is my butter squash soup that I find perfect for winter. It's creamy, the perfect balance between sweet and salt and has a crunch to it because of the pumpkin seeds. Enjoy!..."
