Butternut Squash Soup

If you have every been to the Blue Lemon and tried their Butternut Squash Soup, you know it is to die for!!!! I was craving their soup, so I tried to find a recipe that was close to Blue Lemon's.  This Butternut Souprecipe comes pretty darn close (minus the delicious cinnamon crouton things).   I added 1/4 C. of sugar to sweeten it up and I skipped the onion.  I also used half and half instead of the heavy cream.  I got this recipe off of Allrecipes.com.  Rating: 8.0
