Butternut Squash and Carrot Soup

While i was on my soup frenzy, i made this one of the days. And i loved it. it is nice creamy with a hint of sweetness.. And to confide in you, this is the first time i used fresh sage. I always wondered what i can use them for whenever i saw them on super-market shelves. They have a distinct strong flavour but only till it is raw. When cooked, it blended perfectly in the flavour of soup.

All you soup lovers are going to like this, go try.
