Today’s recipe is a creamy and comforting Butternut Squash Soup that happens to be gluten-free, vegan, and dairy-free. This soup holds a special place in my heart because It was the only thing I wanted to eat when I was in the hospital recovering from spinal surgery. It was so nourishing, and I could literally feel it replenishing my body with every spoonful. Since then, it has become a staple in my kitchen on cold and cozy days, and I love sharing it with others who are looking for a warm, comforting meal that’s packed with nutrients.
