RECIPE BACKSTORY

We're a soup loving family- I'm always looking for different ways to take classic, basic flavors and jazz them up for variety and make them hearty enough to be a filling meal.

I like squash and pumkin and it's become a bit of a joke for me to incorporate them into soup rather than a casserole or a pie :-)

This could easily be a vegitarian dish by using veggie stock and omitting the chicken.
