My dad’s recipe butternut squash and carrot soup is my favorite soup ever! With some Cooking with Sydney add-ons, it takes the soup to another level. Thanks dad for making this for me during the cold Chicago winters and for giving me the OK to share it on my blog. 🙂

This recipe makes about 7 cups of soup.
