On a cold winter day, it’s nice to curl up with a big bowl of soup and a blanket on the couch. Next time that dreary day rolls around, give this Paleo Chicken and Butternut Squash Soup a try. :)

The first time I made this soup, Jeff & I were at our friend Mike’s house, while we were visiting him in Southern Illinois.

Roasting the chicken and squash before turning it into soup gives a deeper flavor that wouldn’t normally be there if you simply boiled the ingredients together.

This meal was ready just in time and I served it for lunch right before the Bears game started.

Whether you’re cooking a big batch on the weekend or on a weeknight, this soup is quite versatile and makes for a nice and hardy meal.

Give it a try and let me know how it turns out for ya. :)
