Butternut-Ale Soup
This soup was inspired by two dishes that I enjoyed during a trip to St. Louis. The first was a hearty butternut squash at The Farmhaus , and the second was a cheddar-jalapeno soup made with Budweiser at the Anheuser-Busch brewery . I took what I found to be the best aspects of each soup and combined them. Fall is a great time for a butternut squash soup, but I thought that I could bring some beer to the party.
