This is a recipe based on a squash dish that my Mother used to make every fall when I was a kid. I thought the flavors were so good; I made it into this soup. I remember the first time I made this recipe I was attending The Culinary Institute of America. A chef instructor was so amazed with my culinary ability due to this simple recipe. Now after more than 25 years in the food service business, I realize that sometimes simple flavors are the best.
