Chipotle Butternut Squash Soup

As the weather and market offerings change, it's time to embrace soup season! As author Kate DiCamillo wisely said, "There ain't no point in making soup unless others eat it."

We received this recipe from Andrew, one of our incredible Operations Coordinators. Here's what he told us about the recipe: A soup I started making for my family during Thanksgiving after years of asking to make something for the holiday. And since then, it has been a staple of our Thanksgiving celebrations with family."
