A delicious soup! We had some pur?ed cooked fresh squash that I used in place of one of the boxes of frozen but otherwise I made this exactly by the recipe. Mr. Picky ( hubby ) had already added a little brown sugar to the pur?ed fresh squash which gave the soup a touch of extra sweetness. We will be making a triple batch of this for a soup and salad luncheon for a senior group later this month. It should stand out as something different from the other soups there.

This is recipe that requires you to "think out of the box" as my Aunt says. It really grows on your taste buds as you eat it! Very tasty the second time!
