Butternut squash soup (updated version with potato)

Happy 2019 foodies we start the new year new healthy soup the past week my dad was sick so I had to make him a butternut squash soup using roasted garlic from with basil oil from pellas olive oil co and my neighbor sandy gave me tons of squash so I had to make use of it so my moms wisdom is waste not want not. So cook on a budget and shop on a budget too it's my sister Molly's original recipe but add potato to build creaminess without no cream
