This recipe is by far the most delicious butternut soup recipe I have ever made. This past winter, Spar supermarket was selling butternut soup by the cup, and I loved it because it tasted so good. Then one day, they just stopped, so I tried to buy packaged soup, hoping they would taste the same but no luck. Then it occurred to me how there are hundreds of variations of the same soup, all tasting completely different. So I decided to create a version that tastes to my liking. I hope you will love my understanding of it, inspired by spar and ground pepper.
