Had a very large Butternut Squash that was begging me to put it to use. On a "Cold-Windy" Winter Day and not wanting to leave the house, turned-out to be the birth of "Nunu's Butternut-Cashew Creamy Soup". My "Taste-Tester" (better known as husband Herman) ... indulged in the "First Bowl" ... then the "Second Bowl" and then into the "Third Bowl" he finally declared, "WOW - I love this soup, but I'm getting full and can't eat anymore"! Recently, we've become aware of how valuable Turmeric is for your health, and I've started using it where ever I can, in our daily diet.
