Tropical Butternut Squash Soup with slices of bread.

This Tropical Butternut Squash Soup is all I can think about when the weather turns cold. Seasonal butternut squash, coconut milk and curry spices blend perfectly with the tropical goodness of Sam's Fresh Mango Pineapple Salsa for a warming, nutritious meal. Add some delicious bread and who doesn't love a creamy, cozy bowl of soup for dinner?

This is my second main dish entry in the Sam's Fresh Salsa Blogger Recipe Challenge. I received several containers of Sam's Fresh Mango Pineapple Salsa (notice the new packaging) to create out of this world recipes.

Butternut squash is one of my favorite fall vegetables. For this soup, I hand-picked one right from my garden roasting it to bring out some deep, rich flavors. Using the freshest ingredients really does make the best recipes. Naturally, the bright flavors of mango, pineapple and peppers found in Sam's Fresh Salsa play well with the squash along with creamy coconut milk and warm spices like cumin, allspice and curry. Please enjoy!
