Creamy Butternut Mac And Cheese Soup

This dish is comforting, appealing to both adults and children, and can be made in advance and frozen for a future meal.

It also makes a very thoughtful dinner element if providing meal assistance for a family in need due to a new baby in the house, a passing, or illness.
