Butternut Turmeric Soup

Butternuts are all over farmers markets here in Houston. While there are many ways to cook one, in this cool weather a soup made with the creamy sweet orange pulp of the butternut is a good option. Peeling a butternut may be the hardest part of this recipe but if you can, buy a little one as their skin is more tender and use a good peeler. When combined with the earthy flavor of fresh turmeric and the haunting note of cloves, this is a healing soup if there ever was one!
