Roasted Butternut Squash and Fennel Soup with Citrus
Roasted butternut squash, fresh fennel, onions, and garlic are blended with spices, marmalade, and cream for a deliciously decadent soup that's the perfect starter for your holiday feast! My favorite way to garnish this roasted butternut squash and fennel soup with citrus is to whip up additional heavy cream until soft peaks form, then top each bowl with a small dollop. I then lightly drizzle each dollop with extra marmalade that's been melted in the microwave for 10 to 20 seconds.
