Acorn Squash Soup Recipe
Probably most of you have tried butternut squash soup, but I suspect not too many of you have given acorn squash soup a whirl. Roasted acorn squash soup is just as delicious and it makes a perfect appetizer for your holiday dinner table.
You can also roast some extra squash to be edible bowls to hold the soup. They look beautiful on your holiday feast table.
