Soup Season

Ah....fall. The first day of autumn and the rainy, cool day, along with the squash sale this week and the chicken in my freezer gave me a perfect reason to make one of our all-time favorite soups, Colorful Chicken and Squash. You can find the full recipe here. It makes a lot and is very healthy and delicious. Just give yourself plenty of time to prepare it - it involves lots of chopping, but it's good for several meals and freezes well.

We paired it with Parmesan Muffins from my new 500 Muffin Recipes book. I thought they were okay, but hubby really, really liked them.

Helpful Hint: To make butternut squash easier to peel, stick a few holes in it with a fork and put the whole thing in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. The peel will soften and once it's cool, you can easily peel it with a vegetable peeler.

What did you have to celebrate the first day of autumn?
