1. Roasted Butternut Squash Soup

I have a pot of this soup waiting for me at home as I type this out and I can emphatically tell you that when I made this recipe, I turned into Guy Fieri and bellowed, "That's money!" when I took my first bite. The soup only tastes better the longer you let it sit, so this is best made in a big batch and savored over the next few days.

The recipe comes courtesy of Cookie and Kate. For those who wish to make the soup taste a little sweeter - peel and cut up an apple. Adding it to the blend will make it sweeter and really bring out those spices. I always take liberty with the spices I used and put in pinches of ground nutmeg, ground rosemary, ground cloves, curry powder, onion and garlic powder, garam masala, sage and ground ginger.

Like I said, it's money. You will float away on a soup high after having this!
