Sweet Butternut Soup w/Thyme Creme Fraiche

We really liked the straightforward flavour of this simple soup, although we both would have liked a smoother texture (next time I'll add the roasted squash to the broth and put in the blender after cooking, rather than following the recipe's food processor method).

But the herb mix of parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme really sings (sorry, bad joke) -- but it's delicious and the thyme creme fraiche is a great accent.

Arugula w/ a lemony vinaigrette and topped with smoked salmon was a nice complement to the soup.
