Curious Palate’s Butternut Squash Soup
Servings: 4 Servings
Our friends and work neighbors Mark and Elliot run The Curious Palate, a casual neighborhood joint that serves up grass-fed burgers, outstanding fries and a variety of revolving soups and salads. Our blood runs thick with their insanely delicious fish tacos and short rib stew, but the latest curiosity to entice our palate is their peanut-laced butternut squash soup. Mark and Elliot are as generous with their recipes as they are with their helpings and let us publish with delicious soup! Garnish this with dried cranberries, a handful of roasted peanuts, a few chives and a bit of olive oil for a punch of flavor and texture. This recipe makes 4 medium servings, so feel free to double it up for a larger crowd.
