Introduction
Easy and yummy. Similar to Alton Brown's recipe but with a little less fat. Alton also roasts the squash in the oven basted with butter first. Roasting first definitely makes this soup better but it will still be good without. Adding half and half makes it great, but it's actually quite good without it! Easy and yummy.
