Copycat Panera Squash Soup Recipe
When September rolls around, even though it is still warm outside in our part of the country, I still think of Fall right around the corner. With it comes the beauty of the sights, sounds and smells of Autumn.
I always have planted Butternut squash in my garden every year because it is a wonderful vegetable and the remarkable thing about squash..if kept in a dry dark place, this vegetable will last almost all winter long. I always have squash long into March. One of the ways I make it is to peel it, cut it into cubes , throw it on a sheet pan with a little olive oil, salt and pepper and roast in the oven at 400 for about 30 minutes. Another way I fix it is how Panera Bread does, and I will show you how easy this is.

Panera Bread’s recipe has pumpkin in it as well as a hint of curry spice. This is not the recipe, but thanks.
Cheesy, this is the recipe as close as it came to recreating it from our perspective.
