Butternut Squash Soup with Cinnamon image

The golden color, smooth and creamy texture and wonderful taste of this soup make it a welcome addition to a chilly fall day. It has a slightly tangy flavor from the gingerroot, and the sweet cinnamon really comes through. -Jackie Campbell, Stanhope, New Jersey
