Butternut squashes are best from early fall through winter. Due to a hard outer skin, I often roast squash to make curried sweet and sour squash during early fall (my family loves this dish), but these days I am all about soups. In-fact, I wanted to make an avocado soup today when my husband begged me to stop.

How can I stop? Its just beginning of fall and this wonderful season is to enjoy and be creative with soups and stews. If you happen to visit - Soup Section on ChefDeHome, you’ll know I am more of a clear soup person because that’s what my husband loves most. However, this fall, I am trying to feed him some pureed or chunky hearty soups and stews. We will see how it goes.

Today’s soup is flavorful, sauteed and pureed Butternut Squash Soup with tang from sun-dried tomatoes. Serve this soup hot with sour cream, pepper, and a rustic bread to dip in, if desired.

With this recipe, I am starting a Fall Soup Series; you will see a lot of hearty soups and stews on ChefDeHome for days to come.
