Barefoot Contessa Butternut Squash Soup

Instead of the apple cider in the soup, I use chicken broth.  It was too sweet for my taste.  Serve with Red Bicycle Bread from The Market in Park City and a chopped salad. 


 I had the following chopped salad at Trio in Salt Lake City, I tried to re-create it as best I could...


Mixed Greens
Finely chopped cucumbers
Chopped cooked red beets
Feta cheese, crumbled
Chopped Pistachios


Top with a citrus vinaigrette (olive oil, lemon/orange juice, dijon mustard).
