Roasted Butternut Squash Tortellini Soup

We have had some super crazy weather here. We went from hot to cold to hot to cold. On the cold days I like a big bowl of soup to keep me warm so I made Roasted Butternut Squash Tortellini Soup.

When I told my family what was in the soup the kiddos were not super thrilled. My hubby was over joyed! He loves seasonal flavors in foods. The kids actually ate it and my five year old loved the flavor of the soup as well just not the chunks of squash. For me I ate on this soup for a couple of days and it was better the next day because the flavors married together even more as it sat.

This soup is not difficult to make but it is a process because i wanted to really make sure the flavors were as intense as possible because I knew I would be serving it right away! Whenever I am making soup slowly I use my dutch oven. It happens to be one of my all time favorite pots to have in the kitchen. It is heavy but very sturdy. It holds a lot of liquid which is nice for soup making! ENJOY!
