Excellant! Served it at a mixed bonspiel and got rave reviews, several people asked for recipe. Made it for without chives for someone who is allergic to onions and garlic. Hard to find soup recipes without onion/garlic

"Very tasty" says my husband. Served with a salad and had a great vegetarian meal.

I served Pretty Autumn Soup tonight. It was a very simple meal to make on a chilly fall night. I had more butternut squash therefore I increased the skim milk and OJ concentrate.I added lean cooked turkey bacon pieces and topped with chopped garden onions instead of chives, and no sesame seeds. Family said this soup was a keeper.

Delicious and low in salt, even lower if you use salt substitute. Thanks for sharing!

I substituted reduced fat chicken broth for the milk. I am on Weight Watchers and that cut the points in half.

Because I have MS and can't cut the vegetables, I found pre peeled and cut vegetables in the grocery store and they worked out great.
