We love winter squash such as pumpkin, butternut, and acorn and they're so plentiful during the winter months. You don't need to add any heavy cream to make this soup rich and velvety. Making it a healthy yet decadent winter comfort food. And the finishing touch of a drizzle of Merlot or infused grapesed oil gives it a very delicious taste!
