Moroccan Butternut Squash Soup

Moroccan Butternut Squash Soup is a warm, spiced blend of tender squash, aromatic shallots, and earthy spices, made extra creamy with a swirl of Farmhouse Organic Crème Fraîche. Blended until smooth and topped with a dollop of crème fraîche and fresh parsley, it’s a cozy, nourishing bowl with a hint of sweetness and heat.
