Sparkling Wine Butternut Squash Soup

(Originally written October 2008.  Edited March 2013)

Craving something warm and sweet on a chilly October day, I began throwing some of my favorite flavors into a pot with leftover squash I baked the night before and I ended up with a spicy, sweet and satisfying Fall soup!   *Gluten and lactose free options

Ingredients:

1 small butternut squash - baked and thoroughly mashed (mash without the skin and seeds, obviously!)

3/4 container of organic chicken broth - ends up being roughly 26 oz from a 32 oz container
