When I saw the title, I thought I’d be turned off by this. The picture proved just the opposite. I’ve never had squash soup, but the photo makes me want to make this. Wondering if my son would eat it too…he doesn’t like vegetables, but maybe this way he’d try.
Tanya Holland says
This looks so good. I think me and my husband would be the only ones to enjoy this.
Cheryl says
