Sometimes a friend shares a recipe that just becomes a season favorite! This is it for me!
A few years ago, my husband, Barry and I were hunting on the 5F Ranch and the owner just happened to mention she was looking so forward to making her favorite fall soup the next week. So, of course I asked about the recipe.
Harvest Soup has a plethora of healthy ingredients that resonate with each other in a spirited sort of way. I would have never thought of including pinto beans in a soup with butternut squash – but it works beautifully, and for all you vegetarians – this soup fills the bill.
I use a vegetable broth to tie it all together. Here’s where you can add some creativity – either you use the minimum amount of broth for a super hearty bowl of soup; Or add more broth to thin it out and also make it go further.
I hope you love this recipe as much as do!
