Our butternut vine has found its second wind. I had an idea for a lentil soup with butternut squash in it, and it was so delicious we couldn’t even believe it. I’ve been instructed to use all of our butternuts this way. VEGETARIAN FRIENDS, of course you can make this without the meats. Just use [...]
