Sweet and Creamy Butternut Squash Soup image

This filling soup serves well as a healthy dessert (squash is an excellent source of magnesium, potassium, vitamins C and A, and a good source of calcium). It can be served hot or cold and has an interesting texture. I like this recipe because it is simple to make, yet has a lovely flavor. If you enjoy a thicker, more custard-like consistency you can use less than the directed amount of skim milk. If you prefer a soupier thickness, then you should add more skim milk during the simmering process.

I'm not a big fan of butternut squash, but this soup was surprisingly good. The sweetness of the squash was balanced out by the other ingredients, and the soup was very creamy and flavorful.
