Foodie Friday: Roasted Pepper and Butternut Squash Soup

12 Replies

Happy Friday y’all!  It is that time of year again when I am obsessed with roasting veggies!  I even had to buy more baking sheets to stay on top of all the veggies I have been going through!  So easy, so healthy and so YUM!
Today I am linking up once again with Farrah from Fairyburger, Annmarie from the Fit Foodie Mama, and Jess from Hello to Fit!! Our theme this week is meatless! 
When I first saw the meatless theme pop up, all I could think about were some awesome chicken recipes I have been looking at on Pinterest!  But then I was at Trader Joe’s and tasted some awesome salad I decided to make some soup to go along with it!  And it turned out wonderfully!
