Butternut squash not only works well as a soup. Because of it’s naturally creamy texture, I made it into a dairy free pasta sauce that can also be made into a soup in creamy butternut squash pasta.

This is a truly amazing twist on traditional butternut squash soup. Thai flavors are one of my favorites and I bet they are amazing in this soup!
