Notes
*If soup is too thick for your liking, add more broth until desired consistency is reached
**If you don’t have an immersion blender you can do this step in a regular blender – add the roasted butternut squash, beans and 1 cup of the vegetable broth to the blender, blend on high until smooth. Pour into the large soup pot and add 2 more cups broth, mix and following remaining instructions.
