Creamy Butternut Squash Soup seems to be everywhere this time of year…food magazines, cooking shows, etc., but to be honest, I had never tried it until this past October at a Lifeline Chaplaincy Benefit Dinner in Houston.  

Lifeline Chaplaincy is close to our hearts because they were there for us through the loss of our daughter, Sophie.  We needed a lot of support during that time and Lifeline sent a chaplain to visit and comfort us. 

 

It wasn't until then that we realized just how important compassionate support is during a difficult time or grieving process.  About a year after our loss, we decided to become pastoral care volunteers through Lifeline and began visiting patients at our local hospital every Friday.  

 

Now, to the Butternut Squash Soup!  Like I said, I had never tried until this year…and now I LOVE it!  The Westin Galleria provided our meal the night of the benefit dinner and the Butternut Squash Soup was the first course.  It was wonderful!  It had a rich creamy texture, with a little curry added and some cayenne that gave it a little heat at the end.  I loved it so much that I decided to make a batch at home (the best I could, from memory).  I thought it turned out great!
