Thumb_14004_No-Knead Rolls

Thumb_9807_Butternut Squash And Roasted Garlic Soup

This creamy soup works well as a small first course for a roast or whole bird. It also goes well with a salad for lunch or a light dinner. The sweetness of the roasted garlic adds a nice note under the squash. Just about any herb could be sprinkled on top of the soup as a finish.
