This special recipe from my mother-in-law is one that I enjoy making as part of our fall meals. The soup is so pretty that is dresses up the table. We think it hits the spot on crisp evenings. -Maryann Klein, Washington Township, New Jersey

I also loved this recipe. It was very good and the squash stood out really well. But I did add a little more pepper than called for and some cayenne pepper to spice it up just a tad. It got great reviews from my family!

I LOVED this soup! I changed a few things...I didn't have any thyme so I used 1/2 teaspoon of tarragon instead. To lighten this yummy soup some more, I reduced the half & half to 3/4 cup and increased the 1% milk to 3/4 cup. I just finished the soup for dinner! I can't wait for lunch & dinner tomorrow!!
