Creamy Butternut Squash Soup with Grilled Cheese Croutons
Sage, cayenne, and nutmeg make this soul-warming butternut squash a new classic. But the stars of the show are the crunchy, cheesy, bacony grilled cheese sourdough croutons. We use white cheddar from New York State to give this dish a rich complexity, as does River Bear’s uncured thick-cut Berkshire pork belly. Pair with a Cava or crisp white wine to cut through that delicious richness.
