I LOVE the restaurant Blue Lemon. Their Butternut Squash Soup is AMAZING. My 15 year old - who used to eat anything and everything has suddenly become more opinionated on what she eats. The one thing she doesn't like is butternut squash - to my dismay.
I had a HUGE Costco bag full of baby carrots that needed to be used so I decided to use carrots instead of butternut squash to make this soup.
Now - I FREAKIN LOVE SOUP - so take that into consideration...
