Fantastic soup. Sometimes simple is best. I was surprised how flavorful this soup was, and the butternut squash makes it beautiful too. I used great northern beans instead of the navy beans.

Wow,it started out for supper but was ready by noon and will gone by supper.

The only change was added some mashed potatoes left overs in.

The taste was wonderful, but I had to add more liquid while it cooking to keep it from getting to dry. Other than that, it was perfect. Next time I will start when more broth.
