This recipe is fast and easy, especially if you buy pre-peeled squash and use canned chicken broth. It's a great soup for Thanksgiving as a first course, or as a meal with salad and bread.
Food Editor's Note: This is delicious! You can make a pareve version by substituting vegetable broth for the chicken stock. |
