Have you ever tasted a dish that takes you straight to a sunny beach? We've been cooking up a storm at the Brimly Gluten-Free Test Kitchen, and guess what? We made a bowl of pure magic: "Coconut-Turmeric Soup with Butternut Squash."

Think of this: a warm summer day with the sweet smell of coconuts mixing with the cozy scent of fall. That's our soup! It's like a cozy hug from coconut and butternut squash, along with a few other fall favorites, and, of course, with just a hint of golden turmeric. We've been cooking for a while and this combo? It's a winner.

At the test kitchen, it's all about mixing old favorites with fresh twists. This soup is the best of both worlds. It's familiar yet exciting – perfect for cozy nights or fun dinners and, without a doubt, Gluten-Free!

Alright, grab your bowls and spoons, folks. A delicious blend of old meets new is ready to be served. Dive in and enjoy!
