Butternut squash soup is rich and creamy, and the bone broth makes it nutrient dense as well.  Butternut squash soup is one of my favorite fall meals, it just invites you to light a beeswax candle with dinner, doesn’t it?
Garnish with thyme or other fresh herbs and serve with grain free banana-nut muffins.
