“I live on good soup, not on fine words.”  







Those are words of wisdom from the 17th Century French playwright, actor, and poet, Moliére. 







But he’s a thoroughly modern man and incredible visionary when it comes to soup. 







 







Modern Goodness







One of the easiest weeknight meals to make is soup, but our culture seems a bit disinclined towards this almost ancient way feeding ourselves. 







“Soup?” our culture says, “I need something hardier than water with vegetables after a long day.” 







Well you’ve got it with Butternut Squash Soup.  







 







Satisfaction in a Bowl 







Not only is butternut squash soup beautiful, warm, filling, and vibrantly orange, this delicious soup is gluten-free.  







And it’s dairy-free. Meaning that the vegans amongst us are going to love it. 







But don’t say that to anyone who might think that last characteristic makes it instantly flavorless. 







Nope meat-eaters and vegans alike will love butternut squash soup. 







It has a gorgeous flavor and is packed with vegetables.  







And, all those vegetables contribute to the sturdy texture of this soup. 







 







No Better Way to Eat Your Veggies Than in Butternut Squash Soup 







That’s right: NO thickeners other than veggies, mostly carrots and cauliflower, in this butternut squash soup. 







With the addition of a bit of olive oil and some coconut milk the result is a rich, creamy, decadent soup without a hint of lingering grease in your bowl. 







 Assemble this soup and let it simmer. While it comes together on the stovetop, make yourself a side salad with the rest of the veggies from the produce drawer in your refrigerator.  







There’s no time like the present to use those lovelies up. 







 







You Can Dine on Good Soup and Fine Words With Butternut Squash Soup







 Butternut squash soup is truly an indulgence of the very best type.  







One that your body, soul, and spirit can enjoy any night of the week as you gather at the table accompanied by great conversation.







With this combo, unlike Molière you can say that you dine on good soup and good words.
