Ginger Butternut Squash Soup image

The combination of ginger and butternut squash is delicious and addictive. This recipe yields a creamy soup without the use of any cream. I love to whip this soup up with my immersion blender right in the pot. This soup also freezes well. You can serve it with a dollop of sour cream if you desire, although I serve it without a garnish. If you want to make this a completely dairy free soup, use dairy free margarine (Fleishman's unsalted, or Earth Balance.) Oh yeah, and you MUST use fresh ginger.

I added a bit of cayenne pepper to this soup for a little extra kick. It was the perfect way to warm up on a cold day.

I'm not a big fan of butternut squash, but this soup changed my mind. The ginger really balances out the sweetness of the squash and makes for a delicious and savory soup.
